Enforceability of Labor Law: Evidence from a Labor Court in Mexico by David S. Kaplan Pdf

The authors analyze lawsuits involving publicly-appointed lawyers in a labor court in Mexico to study how a rigid law is enforced. They show that, even after a judge has awarded something to a worker alleging unjust dismissal, the award goes uncollected 56 percent of the time. Workers who are dismissed after working more than seven years, however, do not leave these awards uncollected because their legally-mandated severance payments are larger. A simple theoretical model is used to generate predictions on how lawsuit outcomes should depend on the information available to the worker and on the worker's cost of collecting an award after trial, both of which are determined in part by the worker's lawyer. Differences in outcomes across lawyers are consistent with the hypothesis that firms take advantage both of workers who are poorly informed and of workers who find it more costly to collect an award after winning at trial.

Effective Enforcement of EC Labour Law by Jonas Malmberg,Barry Fitzpatrick Pdf

Effective Enforcement of EC Labour Law deals with the rules designed to enforce EC labour law directives in the workplace. Directives normally do not provide any specific rules on procedures and sanctions according to which the substantive rules of the directives are to be enforced. Instead, domestic rules shall apply. However, the European Court of Justice has developed some principles of enforcement that limit the autonomy of the Member States. The aim of this book is to analyse the meaning of the principle of effective enforcement developed by the Court in three areas of labour law: working time in the context of EU health and safety law; the restructuring of enterprises through collective redundancies and transfers of undertakings; and equality of opportunity between women and men. The principle of effective enforcement is analysed in the light of how labour law directives are enforced in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK. The book also includes an analysis of regulations in Poland, which illustrates some of the challenges that candidate countries will face in joining the EU. Effective Enforcement of EC Labour Law is the result of collaboration between a group of labour law researchers from a number of European countries. The work has been co-ordinated by Jonas Malmberg, Associate Professor at the National Institute for Working Life, Stockholm, and Uppsala University.

Eroding Worker Protections: BC's New 'Flexible' Employment Standards by David Fairey Pdf

Key Findings Sweeping reductions and changes to the enforcement program in BC have had a serious and negative impact on the ability of workers to become aware of their rights in the workplace, to complain of violations of their rights, and to obtain fair treatment in the process of pursuing complaints and having their complaints adequately investigated. [...] In November of that year, the newly-elected provincial government embarked upon a series of substantive changes to the Employment Standards Act, regulations under the Act, and the system of administration and enforcement of the Act. [...] For example, the stated goals of the new legislation were, allegedly, to: • protect vulnerable employees, particularly those in certain sectors; • encourage flexible workplace partnerships; • help revitalize the economy, specifically small business, by recognizing the needs and the realities of the workplace; and • simplify the rules.13 The goal of protecting vulnerable workers is restated in the [...] The Act was substantially restructured in 1995 following recommendations of the first and only compre- hensive independent review of the Act in 1994 by Commissioner Mark Thompson of the University of British Columbia's faculty of Commerce and Business Administration.16 14 Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives - BC Office Regulation The Employment Standard Regulation17 is that part of the law whi [...] Administration and Enforcement Administration of the Act, and the policing and enforcement of its provisions and regulations, is the responsibility of the Minister of Labour and Citizens' Services through the Director of the Employment Standards Branch and her/his staff.

Research Handbook on the Economics of Labor and Employment Law by Michael L. Wachter,Cynthia L. Estlund Pdf

ÔWachter and Estlund have assembled a feast on the economic analysis of issues in labor and employment law for scholars and policy-makers. The volume begins with foundational discussions of the economic analysis of the individual employment relationship and collective bargaining. It then progresses to discussions of the theoretical and empirical work on a wide range of important labor and employment law topics including: union organizing and employee choice, the impact of unions on firm and economic performance, the impact of unions on the enforcement of legal rights, just cause for dismissal, covenants not to compete and employment discrimination. Anyone who wants to study what economists have to say on these topics would do well to begin with this collection.Õ Ð Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt, Indiana University Bloomington School of Law, US This Research Handbook assembles the original work of leading legal and economic scholars, working in a variety of traditions and methodologies, on the economic analysis of labor and employment law. In addition to surveying the current state of the art on the economics of labor markets and employment relations, the volumeÕs 16 chapters assess aspects of traditional labor law and union organizing, the law governing the employment contract and termination of employment, employment discrimination and other employer mandates, restrictions on employee mobility, and the forum and remedies for labor and employment claims. Comprising a variety of approaches, the Research Handbook on the Economics of Labor and Employment Law will appeal to legal scholars in labor and employment law, industrial relations scholars and labor economists.

Re-Inventing Labour Law Enforcement by Louise Munkholm Pdf

This monograph investigates current issues in labour law enforcement from a socio-legal perspective. It analyses how local Italian enforcement actors promote the protection of workers in Prato – a city that in recent decades has seen a significant influx of Chinese migrants who run small workshops as part of the local clothing industry. Many of the Chinese firms in Prato fail to live up to core labour standards, such as maximum working hours, health and safety at work and payment of social security contributions. The book analyses the strategies and practices employed by three local enforcement actors (labour inspectors, labour unionists and a new type of labour law consultant) in their efforts to assist Chinese firms in improving their level of labour law compliance. Combining documentary, interview and observational data, the book applies theories of legal culture and legal development to address the interaction between law and society. It focuses on the operational aspects of law by asking three interrelated research questions: How do local enforcement actors promote the protection of workers in Chinese firms in Prato? Which tools are employed, and which rationalities drive the initiatives? The book thereby sheds light upon processes of legal cultural adaptation, informing ongoing international and national debates about what can actually be done to combat contemporary gaps in the protection of workers.

Understanding Class by Erik Olin Wright Pdf

Leading sociologist examines how different readings of class enrich our understanding of capitalism Few ideas are more contested today than “class.” Some have declared its death, while others insist on its centrality to contemporary capitalism. It is said its relevance is limited to explaining individuals’ economic conditions and opportunities, while at the same time argued that it is a structural feature of macro-power relations. In Understanding Class, leading left sociologist Erik Olin Wright interrogates the divergent meanings of this fundamental concept in order to develop a more integrated framework of class analysis. Beginning with the treatment of class in Marx and Weber, proceeding through the writings of Charles Tilly, Thomas Piketty, Guy Standing, and others, and finally examining how class struggle and class compromise play out in contemporary society, Understanding Class provides a compelling view of how to think about the complexity of class in the world today.

The Idea of Labour Law by Guy Davidov,Brian Langille Pdf

Labour law is widely considered to be in crisis by scholars of the field. This crisis has an obvious external dimension - labour law is attacked for impeding efficiency, flexibility, and development; vilified for reducing employment and for favouring already well placed employees over less fortunate ones; and discredited for failing to cover the most vulnerable workers and workers in the "informal sector". These are just some of the external challenges to labour law. There is also an internal challenge, as labour lawyers themselves increasingly question whether their discipline is conceptually coherent, relevant to the new empirical realities of the world of work, and normatively salient in the world as we now know it. This book responds to such fundamental challenges by asking the most fundamental questions: What is labour law for? How can it be justified? And what are the normative premises on which reforms should be based? There has been growing interest in such questions in recent years. In this volume the contributors seek to take this body of scholarship seriously and also to move it forward. Its aim is to provide, if not answers which satisfy everyone, intellectually nourishing food for thought for those interested in understanding, explaining and interpreting labour laws - whether they are scholars, practitioners, judges, policy-makers, or workers and employers.
