Synopsis

Collective labour law has recently been transformed. The Employment Relations Act 1999 introduced radical reforms,including a procedure for compulsory recognition of trade unions; additional protection for employees dismissed while taking part in industrial action; and changes to industrial action notices and ballots. The use of 'workforce agreements' to determine the scope of workers' rights has been extended and the European Works Councils Directive has been implemented in domestic law. The Human Rights Act 1998 also has important implications for collective labour law. This new book provides a fully comprehensive text which covers all areas of collective labour law, statutory and common law. Relevant international provisions are also highlighted, together with the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and other international bodies. Recent developments are examined in their thematic context, so enabling the reader to obtain an integrated analysis of areas such as statutory rights of representation and consultation, industrial action and union governance. Whilst this book is intended for specialist labour lawyers, its treatment of the subject will be accessible to those with no detailed prior knowledge.

Media Reviews
...an extremely valuable resource for all those concerned with collective labour law whether as legal academics or practitioners or from the perspective of other disciplines. Bob Simpson Industrial Law Journal September 2000 Collective Labour Law by Professor Gillian Morris and Tim Archer aims and succeeds in providing a detailed and integrated analysis of these recent developments as well as the pre-existing areas of common law and statute. Anthony Korn ELA Briefing July 2001 In short there is everything you want to know about a suject which has not received much literary attention, even in times of past industrial strife. It is excellent. It will be welcomed by all employment lawyers, students of employment law, HR managers; anyone who wants to understand the legal/workplace scene in the 21st century. Nick Fairclough, Solicitor Solicitors' Journal July 2001 The book is striking for the comprehensiveness of its legal analysis which is accompanied by extensive references to other sources for more detailed consideration of particular issues. It is without doubt an invaluable resource for academic scholars. An appreciation of the scope, structure and evolution of this body of law is an essential prerequisite for any meaningful appraisal for the changing role of the law in labour relations and Morris and Archer provide an up to date foundation for this endeavour.
