  Employment Law now in its 4th edition, is the ideal text for those seeking a succinct account of employment law and industrial relations law, whether to obtain an initial overview of the subject or for use as an accompaniment to employment law courses, particularly modular courses. The law is set in the context of experience in the workplace, and also within the wider social and political framework, in order to promote a proper understanding of how the law works in reality. This edition has been significantly rewritten to reflect the different climate in employment relations since the election of the Labour government in 1997, and to incorporate the many important developments which have occurred in this area of law in the last few years. Employment Law is an extremely popular guide to this complex area of law, and will prove invaluable to students, practitioners and professionals involved with employment law issues.
