Summary
EMPLOYMENT AND LABOR LAW is comprehensive introduction to employment and labor relations law. Case law excerpts throughout the book illustrate how labor-related disputes arise and get resolved in the courts, while chapter features like The Working Law and Ethical Dilemma demonstrate how labor legislation and ethical decision-making impact companies today. Complete with the most up-to-date information on the ADA Amendments Act, ERISA Amendments under the Obama Administration's 2009 economic stimulus plan, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and much more, no other book combines such balanced coverage with an accessible, reader-friendly approach.
