More About This Textbook

Overview

With growing international competition, American firms have been faced with increasing pressures to produce better products, cut costs, and improve efficiency. As a result, American employers have changed many of their long-standing labor priorities. With this large reorganization of work forces and priorities, Americans are again faced with the significant question of what rights workers have--and should have--in the workplace.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
A dean at the University of Kentucky, Edwards here proposes new ways of protecting workers' rights, which he claims would also make the workplace more efficient. Edwards finds that the old ways of establishing and enforcing workers' rights are increasingly ineffective, costly, and even counterproductive, particularly as employers strive to cut costs and become more competitive and as labor unions continue to slide in membership and power. The ``protections'' that Edwards puts forth encompass an obligation by employers, union and nonunion, to detail the rights that they unilaterally grant to their workers, and which are legally enforceable, along with an independent system of mediation and arbitration, in place of litigation, to resolve disputes about these workplace rights. Recommended for research libraries with industrial-relations collections.-- Harry Frumerman, formerly with Hunter Coll., CUNY
Booknews
Clearly outlines the current debates and need for change in the workplace, focusing on the rights of non-unionized workers and outlining a series of measures that include making employer handbooks mandatory and public, making job rights stated in handbooks legally enforceable, and establishing an industrial arbitration system to resolve disputes over worker rights.
