The Oxford Handbook of the Law of Work
At the core of all societies and economies are human beings deploying their energies and talents in productive activities—that is, at work. The law governing human productive activity is a large part of what determines outcomes in terms of social justice, material wellbeing, and the sustainability of both. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that work is heavily regulated. This book is about the ‘law of work’, a term that includes legislation set…
Labor
This chapter examines ‘labor’ as an issue which international organizations have attempted to regulate over the last century by using legal and other techniques to construct modes and structures of governance. It begins by setting out the five reasons why the terrain of labour is especially difficult for IOs to negotiate. It then considers how these reasons both structure and complicate the competing narratives of the labour issue, in the context…

On this view the new concentration upon core rights undermines…
Global Social Policy Forum
Labour Policy in Canada
The project of re-thinking Canadian labour policy within a human capital policy is best understood as the domestic equivalent of the international effort to reconceive the nature of development as requiring the integration of the economic and the social. Changes in modes of productive relations in the "new economy" require not just a complex reassessment of the best ways to achieve the goals of various labour policies but, more radically, involve…
