Routledge - The Employment Contract and the Changed World of Work

The world of work has undergone major changes in the last two decades. This book from the Routledge Corporate Social Responsibility Series examines these shifts within an international context. It provides an analysis of how the employment relationship is being regulated in a modern era. Traditional views often suggest that collective bargaining is the most important tool for regulating work. However, this text argues that such an approach is becoming less relevant in today's changing environment. Instead, the book explores alternative methods for protecting legitimate worker interests. Readers will learn about the adaptation and extension of general principles within the law of contract. The text also examines the role of a constitutional right to fair labour practices and the pursuit of new protections. This is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of labour law and business ethics in a globalized economy.
