Basics of American Labour Law

by Antoine T.J.M. Jacobs

About this book

Antoine T.J.M. Jacobs introduces American labour law for readers interested in comparing legal systems. The book connects employment rules with the United States’ constitutional structure, federal and state authority, political institutions and methods of enforcement.

Its chapters move from individual employment relationships to collective labour law and social security. Topics include employment contracts, wages, working time, discrimination, dismissal, trade unions and collective bargaining. The concise comparative account explains why American arrangements differ from those in other countries.
