Droles De Petites Betes by Krings Antoon

No one will deny that labour standards comprise a necessary framework for balanced economic and social development. Yet on a global level such balanced development has not occurred, despite the existence of a rigorous body of international labour law that has been active and growing for almost one hundred years. The implementation of this law devolves upon states; yet many states have failed to honour it. If we are to take serious steps toward a remedy for this situation, there is no better place to start than a thorough, well-researched survey and analysis of existing international labour law - its sources, its content, its historical development, and an informed consideration of the barriers to its full effectiveness.

This book is exactly such a resource. It provides in-depth interpretation of the crucial International Labour Organisation (ILO) instruments - Constitution, conventions, declarations, resolutions, and recommendations - as well as such other sources of law as the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and various model and actual corporate codes of conduct. Among the substantive areas of labour law covered in this book are the following:

the relationship between international labour law and economic competition

standards on industrial relations

collective bargaining and dispute settlement procedures

protection of trade unions

prohibitions on enforced and child labour

promotion of equal opportunity and treatment

time and rest provisions

wage determination and protection

occupational health and safety provisions

special issues on non-standard forms of employment

foreign and migrant workers

social security provisions

privacy protection

precarious work

The presentation demonstrates that these rules and standards offer invaluable benchmarks to governments, judiciaries, employers, and trade unions. The book's combination of detailed commentary and an overarching social policy will make it especially valuable to legislators, human resources managers, employers' organizations, trade unions, jurists, and academics concerned with the role of work in our globalized social system.
