A Casebook on Labour Law is made for every university labour or employment law course in
the UK, set within European Union and international law. It covers (1) history and theory, (2)
contract and rights, (3) participation, (4) equality, and (5) job security, with chapters on
essential topics for modern labour policy: the right to vote for company boards, work councils
and pensions, and laws to get full employment and end unemployment.
Each chapter summarises further reading from noteworthy books and journals, and follows a
unified conceptual structure that aims to transcend historic divisions between common law or
statute, private or public, and national or international law. It invites the reader to engage in
the economic and social evidence about labour laws empirical consequences, as well as
political principles.
