Summary:

Labour and Employment Law: Cases, Materials and Commentary is an unusually long-lived exercise in scholarly collaboration. For more than 30 years now, the Labour Law Casebook Group has been devoted not only to the project of a collective casebook, but to a larger scholarly and social vision of labour law. The casebook was initially devoted exclusively to collective bargaining law. From the fourth edition onward, it expanded to encompass all the legal regimes governing the social relations of production – not only collective bargaining law, but also the common law of individual employment contracts and regulatory statues such as human rights codes and employment standards acts. The Editorial Committee came to believe that to understand any one of these regimes, one had to understand them all, and that to understand them all, one had to understand not just the relevant legal rules but their historical foundations, ideological assumptions, and institutional architecture. This sixth edition includes material on the Charter, human rights, Quebec labour law, women and work and other issues.
