  This is a guide to the complexities of labour law. This eighth edition has been revised to keep readers informed of the many major developments which have recently occurred in this area, in particular those brought about by European Union Directives and the decisions of the European Court of Justice. A full account is given of the rights and duties of individual employees, notably as regards unfair dismissal and protection against discrimination. The new laws on collective bargaining and on prevention of accidents and injuries at work are also discussed at length. Specific account is taken of the Scottish Law wherever appropriate. Students taking employment or management courses, or taking examinations of the Institute of Personnel and Development or other relevant examinations should find this book useful. Industrial and commercial managers, personnel and safety officers, shop stewards and trade union officials should also gain practical assistance from this text.
