Unfair Advantage by Lance Compa
We are not shy about reporting human rights abuses around the globe. We are much more reluctant to recognize them at home. This book exposes the violations of human rights witnessed daily in workplaces across our country. Based on detailed case...This second edition of Unfair Advantage not only permits a renewed dissemination of the important work carried out by Lance Compa and Human Rights Watch to uncover many unknown nooks and crannies of US. labor law and practice, but also advances the debate on workers' rights as human rights. It opens areas to public exposure and discussion that have all too often been the exclusive domain of little-heard specialists.
* Industrial and Labor Relations Review *Unfair Advantage has a wealth of information and is written in a clear and highly readable way. Compa efficiently presents the relevant international labour rights conventions and principles, and his overview of U.S. case labour law is particularly useful. The case examples vividly illustrate how these shortcomings play themselves out in real situations. The importance of re-framing freedom of association as a basic human right may have been the driving force for broader dissemination of the original report in book form, but Compa's other analytic and descriptive contributions also justify its re-issue. Unfair Advantage is a valuable addition to the literature for both the specialist and the general reader.
* Relations industrielles / Industrial Relations *Lance Compa is a Senior Lecturer at Cornell University's School of Industrial and Labor Relations. He is coeditor of Human Rights, Labor Rights, and International Trade.
