Labour Law, now in its third edition, is a well established text which offers a comprehensive and critical account of the subject by a team of prominent labour lawyers. It examines both collective labour relations and individual employment rights, including equality law, and does so while having full regard to the international labour standards as well as the implications of Brexit. Case studies and reports from government and other public agencies illuminate the text to show how the law works in practice, ensuring that students acquire not only a sophisticated knowledge of the law but also an appreciation of its purpose and the complexity of the issues which it addresses.
- Features clearly divided chapters and divisions in the topics making it easy for teachers and students to work their way through material
- Provides context to the law to help students understand why the legal measures are needed and their effects in practice
- Explains the basic legal concepts in ways that non-law specialist students can understand
