Siber Ink, South Africa Labour Law Rules
Book SynopsisThis is a thoroughly revised new book, building on the foundations of the first three editions, but expanded and updated to meet the needs of the students using it.This well-established labour law text has been updated to reflect the law as of September 2020. Labour Law Rules provides an accessible and clear discussion of all relevant labour, employment equity, social security and related legislation. The book brings law and practice together. The text is supplemented with visual aids, examples and case law to clarify concepts. The book is aimed principally at students who engage with labour law for the first time during their BCom and LLB studies. The book will also be helpful for HR and IR personnel, project managers, supervisors and union officials. The contents are divided into four parts discussing individual labour law, collective labour law, social security law and other labour laws. The common law contract of employment is the basis of the relationship. The book explains how the Constitution, the BCEA, the NMWA, the LRA as well as the EEA supplement the relationship. The legal protection afforded to employees, including non-standard employees, is clarified. Dismissal, unfair labour practices, discrimination, harassment and the impact of transfers of a business on employers and employees alike are explained with reference to recent statutory and case developments. The book includes an analysis of collective labour law. Aspects such as collective bargaining, collective agreements, bargaining agents (for example, trade unions) and workplace forums are covered. The legal requirements for protected strikes, lock-outs, picketing and protest action are dissected and explained with reference to case law and practical examples. An important aspect of labour law that is often overlooked in the academic context is social security measures that impact on the workplace. The book covers the OHSA, MHSA, COIDA and UIA. The book concludes with an overview of so-called non-core labour legislation such as the Employment Services Act, the Skills Development Act, the Employment Tax Incentive Act, the Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of CommunicationsRelated Information Act and the Protection of Personal Information Act. Additional recommended reading is provided in a separate annexure for the keen reader. This book not only reflects on the rules of labour law but also shows that labour law, in the modern workplace, rules!

Cornell University Press Everyday Transgressions Domestic Workers
Book SynopsisAdelle Blackett tells the story behind the International Labour Organization's (ILO) Decent Work for Domestic Workers Convention No. 189, and its accompanying Recommendation No. 201 which in 2011 created the first comprehensive international standards to extend fundamental protections and rights to the millions of domestic workers laboring in...Trade ReviewThe book's breadth and grounding in labor law make it most accessible and useful to a professional audience, but even nonspecialists and lay readers will appreciate Blackett's insights about law and domestic work and provocative issues such as social stratification and immigration. * Choice *An important book for legal and policy historians concerned with labor, Blackett's volume encourages her readers to think about why standards for decent work must be transnational, responsive to workers' experiences, and inspired by a desire to see substantive justice rather than formal law implemented. * Labor: Studies in Working-Class History *Everyday Transgressions is a magnificent piece of research. The book sparks numerous questions and provides innovative heuristic tools for answering them.

Oxford University Press Inc Business Ethics
Book SynopsisAn authoritative and practical guide to business ethics, written in an accessible question-and-answer formatIn today''s turbulent business climate, business ethics are more important than ever. Surveys of employees show that misconduct is on the rise. Cover stories reporting indictments, prosecutions, and penalties imposed for unethical business conduct appear almost daily. Legislatures pass requirements elevating the levels of punishment and their enforcement against corporations and individuals. Organizations face pressure to design and implement effective ethics and compliance programs. As a result, businesses and businesspeople are increasingly worried that their conduct might cross lines that put their wealth and reputations at risk. Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know explains what those lines are, how not to cross them, and what to do when they are crossed. Written for both businesspeople facing real-life dilemmas and students studying ethical questions, this succinct Trade ReviewNelson and Stout have written a readable and eminently usable book that answers the questions that real business people—whether they are organizational leaders or middle managers or entry employees—wonder and even worry about. What's more, their answers are informed and supported by research but presented in a directly applicable manner. Most importantly, their responses are in themselves 'tools' and 'scripts' for those of us who want to behave in accordance with our best values. And the research presented here clarifies that this is most of us. * Mary C. Gentile, author of Giving Voice To Values: How To Speak Your Mind When You Know What's Right, and Creative Director of Giving Voice to Values *This is a well-written book for anyone interested in corporations and their conduct. It's an excellent resource for students and faculty. * Timothy Fort, Eveleigh Professor of Business Ethics, Kelley School of Business *When two prominent legal scholars put their personal stamp on the issue now galvanizing the planet, how ethics fits in with modern business, it is time to pay attention. * Thomas Donaldson, Mark O. Winkelman Professor, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania *What do we owe—if anything—to those we do business with? Business Ethics: What Everyone Needs to Know provides pragmatic answers to tough questions, drawing on legal requirements, professional standards, and classical philosophy. It should be your go-to-guide, especially in these rapidly changing and often competitive times. * Michael Wheeler, Emeritus Chaired Professor of Management Practice, Harvard Business School *This book by J. Nelson and L. Stout exhibits several virtues. First, it is accessible even to those not yet acquainted with the subject matter. It is disgraceful that intellectuals writing on business ethics tend to adopt a language that lay intelligent people cannot follow. Second, the book does not defend, in a aprioristic manner, one position over others. Rather, it clarifies pros and cons of the main theses on the subject in a balanced and fair way. Finally, this book comes out at a time characterized by the emergence of problems such as environmental degradation, pandemics, the explosion of income and wealth inequalities, problems that cannot be solved without the active intervention of businesses. Whence the great relevance of an ethical approach capable of directing their behaviour toward the common good. * Stefano Zamagni, Professor of Economics, University of Bologna and SAIS Europe of the Johns Hopkins University *This book contains extremely useful, science-based guidance as to how we can act more ethically and effectively influence others in our organizations to do the same. * Robert Prentice, McCombs School of Business, University of Texas at Austin *This comprehensive and accessible book, brings to the table everything one needs to know about business ethics. It addresses all the major questions and reviews in a highly clear way the relevant legal and management literatures. A fantastic achievement for Prof. J.S. Nelson and the late Prof. Lynn Stout. * Yuval Feldman, author of The Law of Good People, and Faculty of Law, Bar-Ilan University *This is a wonderful book that finally provides comprehensive guidance on how to understand and respond to business ethics challenges today. The current state of business ethics is placed firmly in historical context, and the writing is sharp and free of the jargon that dominates this field. * Alison Taylor, Executive Director, Ethical Systems, NYU Stern School of Business *An invaluable resource concerning business ethics. The chapters on compliance systems are particularly useful. * Gideon Mark, University of Maryland Smith School of Business *The book focusses on what are the most important concepts and tools for businesspeople and compliance professionals to comprehend well. It address what to do, how to do it and why to do it. It is an excellent book and important not only for businesspeople and students, but for Compliance Professionals: We see them all the time stuck in legal and paper-program issues. They more than all others should read it (and will love it). * Matthias Kleinhempel, Head of the Center for Governance & Transparency, IAE Business School *Business Ethics is a timely yet evergreen resource for students and business leaders. Nelson and Stout bring together decades of academic research and literature in this clear and practical guide on ethical behavior and dilemmas in modern business. * Elizabeth Pollman, Professor of Law and Co-Director of Institute for Law and Economics, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School *There is no doubt in my mind that this information will be useful to students and business people and that it is not discussed enough. * Art Hinshaw, Clinical Professor of Law, Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, Arizona State University *An outstanding introduction to business ethics, including individual ethical decision making, leading ethical organizations, and the related legal issues. Each chapter covers an essential topic in business ethics and is organized around the key questions for that topic. This user-friendly format is valuable for the first-time reader and for returning to the book for advice in the future. This introduction to business ethics should be of value to everyone from business students to corporate leaders. The reader will become fully informed on the key managerial and legal issues related to ethics, compliance, and corporate social responsibility. * David Hess, Professor of Busines Law and Business Ethics, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan *Table of ContentsChapter 1: An Overview of Business Ethics Chapter 2: The Benefts of Acting Ethically Chapter 3: Moral Philosophical Bases for Business Ethics Chapter 4: What Does Science Tell Us About Ethical Behavior?

Oxford University Press Inc How Antitrust Failed Workers
Book SynopsisA trenchant account of an unacknowledged driver of inequality and wage stagnation in America: the abandonment of antitrust law, which has allowed corporations to combine into a smaller number of massive conglomerates whose market dominance robs workers of their bargaining power. The consequences of the massive consolidation wave in corporate America that began decades ago are now increasingly apparent: labor markets are no longer competitive. Since the 1970s, Americans have seen income and wealth inequality skyrocket--and job opportunities stagnate. There are many theories of why this happened, including the decline of organized labor and the introduction of tax policies that favored the rich. However, another crucial event was the precipitous decline in antitrust enforcement that began in earnest during the Reagan administration. With ever-increasing combination and consolidation, workers had fewer options to turn to. In How Antitrust Law Failed Workers, Eric Posner documents the role of antitrust in our economy and why it failed. Only through reforming antitrust law can we shield workers from employers'' overwhelming market power. As Posner explains, antitrust laws were created to protect the labor market by attacking monopolies, like Facebook and Google today, that are able to either charge high prices or degrade the quality of their services because customers cannot switch to competitors. Antitrust laws are also used to attack business cartels that can fix prices. In recent years, it has become clear that firms with market power not only charge higher prices; they also suppress wages and output. Many employers use anticompetitive devices--like covenants not to compete for workers and no-poaching agreements--to advance their market power at the expense of workers.Posner shares stories that illustrate how the problem is playing out on the ground, and then contextualizes what is going on via a concise history of the American economy and labor relations since the 1980s. Essential reading for anyone interested in fighting economic inequality, How Antitrust Failed Workers also offers a sharp primer on the true nature of the American economy--one that is increasingly uncompetitive and tilted against workers.Trade ReviewIn his timely and important book, University of Chicago law professor Eric Posner provides a comprehensive account of antitrust's failure to address employer consolidation and various anticompetitive methods to suppress wages. * Asher Schechter, ProMarket *... elegantly argued work... provides useful ideas for dealing with the antitrust hurdles impacting the labor sector. * Claude Marx, FTC Watch *A tight, progressive reasoning for the exercise of antitrust labor market protection. * Kirkus *This important book develops the 'new learning' about labor market power. The returns to capital and those to labor have diverged sharply, reducing labor's participation rate in business profits. One reason is that labor markets are smaller than we once thought, giving employers more power to suppress wages. As Posner explains with clarity and force, antitrust has too often looked askance when confronted with anticompetitive practices targeting labor, such as overly aggressive noncompetition agreements, franchise restraints on worker mobility, and mergers that put downward pressure on wages. An important read for anyone interested in policy concerning competition, labor, and economic equality. * Herbert Hovenkamp, James G. Dinan University Professor, University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School *Antitrust law has long turned a blind eye to the role of employer market power in slow wage growth and growing inequality. Eric Posner provides a much-needed corrective with his compelling, comprehensive and carefully reasoned documentation of the failures of the current system. More importantly, Posner lays out a reform agenda to address everything from outright collusion in wage setting to noncompete agreements. This book should be required reading for anyone who wants to understand the problems with American labor markets or is seeking to fix them. * Jason Furman, Former Chair Council of Economic Advisers and Professor of the Practice of Economic Policy, Harvard University *Recent decades have seen a big shift in the balance of power in the job market away from workers and toward big employers, and it has contributed to the rise in inequality. Posner explains how antitrust policy might have helped prevent it and reduce inequality. Antitrust fights anticompetitive practices that harm consumers and it could fight anticompetitive practices in the job market that harm workers the same way. The book melds the new economic thinking on the topic with Posner's keen legal insight in an accessible way. * Austan Goolsbee, Former Chairman of Council of Economic Advisers and Robert P.

Book SynopsisVery Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring In today''s society, work takes up a vast proportion of the time and energy of ordinary people. Although use of the phrase ''work-life balance'' is now commonplace in the media and ordinary conversation, people work longer hours than ever before. However, rather than purely a means to an end in terms of supporting oneself financially, the workplace is a place to develop skills and talents and build lasting friendships. For these reasons, people want to know about their rights in the workplace. Issues of equal pay, discrimination, discharge/dismissal, and redundancy are prevalent within the media, and there is a growing public appetite for knowledge of the law governing the employment relationship. This Very Short Introduction provides an overview of the main kinds of employment rights and labour laws found in many countries.

Clarendon Press Against Equality of Opportunity
Book SynopsisThese days almost everyone seems to think it obvious that equality of opportunity is at least part of what constitutes a fair society. At the same time they are so vague about what equality of opportunity actually amounts to that it can begin to look like an empty term, a convenient shorthand for the way jobs (or for that matter university places, or positions of power, or merely places on the local sports team) should be allocated, whatever that happens to be.Matt Cavanagh offers a highly provocative and original new view, suggesting that the way we think about equality and opportunity should be radically changed.Trade ReviewThis book is an ambitious and provocative challenge to meritocracy and equality, two foundations of equality theory. In questioning and opposing the prevailing account of what constitutes appropriate employment opportunity, Matt Cavanagh provides a refreshing, and at times disquieting critique of broader anti-discrimination jurisprudence. * The Cambridge Law Journal *The book fully lives up to its provocative title. In the horse-trading of meritocracy versus equality, few have had the nerve and imagination to throw out both these ideals at once. * Nicholas Fearn, The Spectator *Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewGetting By would be particularly useful for legal aid organizations, law firms advocating for low-income individuals (pro bono or otherwise), public law libraries, law school libraries, and anyone interested in helping or learning more about services for economically disadvantaged people. It is recommended as a worthwhile acquisition. * Lei Zhang, Law Library Journal *Legal rights only become actual when people can understand them and act to defend them. To that end, this book is an admirably lucid tool to make the legal rights of the American poor real. More than that, Hershkoff and Loffredo show that the rights of the poor also shore up the rights of workers, and this understanding is fundamental and essential to the pursuit of class justice in the United States. * Frances Fox Piven, co-author of Regulating the Poor and Poor People's Movements *Getting By is an essential, go-to guide for the millions of low-income Americans struggling to understand their social and economic rights and how to access them. Lucid and reader-friendly but also precise and comprehensive, this marvelous book will be a vital resource for claimants negotiating the maze of federal programs and for advocates seeking to mobilize for much-needed legal reform. * David Garland, author of The Welfare State: A Very Short Introduction *Knowledge is power. This is the book that we need now to understand the economic rights that are still available to low income people in the U.S., as well as the frayed edges and gaping holes in the safety net. There are no better guides to the U.S. economic rights landscape than Hershkoff and Loffredo. Comprehensive, thoughtfully organized, and with lucid explanations of complex legal provisions, even experts will have something to learn from this volume. This should be a standard resource for anyone who engages with these issues, but this book will not stay on the shelf - you'll be reaching for it again and again to help you navigate, repair, and ultimately expand this vital system of fundamental rights. * Martha Davis, author of Brutal Need: Lawyers and the Welfare Rights Movement and co-author of Human Rights Advocacy in the United States *This book combines extremely useful guidance for low-income persons and their advocates through the labyrinth of the U.S. legal and welfare systems, with an exceptionally comprehensive and insightful overview of how key parts of those systems work and don't work. An invaluable resource. * Philip Alston, United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extreme Poverty and Human Rights *At a time when economic inequality is threatening civil liberties, every policy maker, elected official, and journalist - indeed, anyone concerned about the future of the country - ought to know about the problems highlighted in this book and aim to achieve needed reforms. * Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director, ACLU *An important work that is as refreshingly practical as it is rigorously analytical. What a wonderful and impactful work to share with racial, social, and economic justice warriors. * Adriene Holder, Attorney-in-Charge, The Legal Aid Society, Civil Practice *Hershkoff and Loffredo have created a guide to the social safety net that is both comprehensive and easy to read. This is essential reading for students, legislators, legal aid lawyers, social workers, community organizers, or anyone who cares about our 21st century social safety net. * Philip Tegeler, President and Executive Director, Poverty & Race Research Action Council *This timely, essential book examines the ways that government policies hostile or indifferent to the economically marginalized have resulted in the increasingly, shockingly lopsided distribution of economic opportunity and access to even the most basic necessities of nutrition, health care, education, and housing. Pushing back against the growing divisions in the country, it calls out the structural forces that harm the unemployed, the under employed and the underpaid alike. Most importantly, it provides suggestions about what can and must be done to repair the damage to democracy caused by economic inequality. It is this rare balance between theory and practical application that makes this volume a necessity to anyone seeking to understand and address fully economy. * Dennis Parker, Executive Director, National Center for Law and Economic Justice *Hershkoff and Loffredo's volume is a comprehensive critique of the United States' poverty policies as they manifest in different facets of daily life. From food and housing to legal protection, and everything in-between, this in-depth account into the vast ramifications of past and present policy is as startling as it is vital. The authors inform the reader of the expansive socio-economic plights thrust upon the American working class and their rights. Moreover, this compelling book succeeds in unifying an often-divided populace under shared economic disenfranchisement. Getting By: Economic Rights and Legal Protections for People with Low Income is an exceptional chronicle of the United States' tumultuous political path towards equal economic mobility and security. Most impressively, it empowers the downtrodden and equips them with the necessary knowledge of their individual and collective power. * Inimai Chettiar, former Justice Program Director, Brennan Center for Justice *Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Maritime Labour Convention 2006 International
Book SynopsisWith the Maritime Labour Convention now in force (as of August 2013), the shipping industry is faced with a new international convention that has comprehensive implications across all sectors. This vital text provides timely analysis and thought-provoking essays regarding the Conventionâs application and enforcement in practice.Hailed as the Seafarerâs Bill of Rights and the fourth pillar of the international regulatory regime for quality shipping, the Maritime Labour Convention is set to significantly alter the playing field for key stakeholders. This book offers diverse and interesting commentary in respect of the Conventionâs impact on core sectors of the shipping industry, identifying both strengths and weaknesses of the Convention, as well as potential hurdles that will need to be overcome. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of the Convention, ranging from individual rights of the seafarer to challenges of flag State implementation. Special attention is given to enforcement through examination of the innovative measures provided in the Convention itself, along with discussion of domestic enforcement mechanisms in certain States. Furthermore, the book evaluates whether the Convention has filled existing gaps in maritime labour law, resolved prior difficulties or created new problems.This book expertly addresses issues of fundamental importance to national authorities, shipping professionals and associations, maritime lawyers and academics worldwide.---In memory of Richard Shaw---Trade Review"This book is likely to prove an important resource, particularly in the UK and Europe, for those seeking to implement the MLC.

Taylor & Francis Adverse Impact and Test Validation A
Book SynopsisAdverse impact analyses and test validation promote social justice and equity. Employers who unknowingly use invalid tests or recruitment procedures that have an adverse impact are reducing minority and/or female representation in their workforce, unfairly screening out qualified workers and (worst of all) just plain discriminating. Dan Biddle's Adverse Impact and Test Validation provides you with analyses that allow you to identify which of your selection procedures have adverse impact. The validation steps will help you decide whether to keep the selection procedure (because it's valid), change it, or stop using it altogether. This second edition contains new material on using multiple regression to evaluate pay practices and provides step-by-step instructions for using SPSS or Excel for evaluating your company's pay practices for possible inequities. New content on how to define Internet applicants and set up defensible Basic Qualifications (BQs) for online recruiting will help employers ensure compliance with EEO regulations and screen in qualified applicants. Specific guidelines for developing and validating written job knowledge tests, such as those used for police and fire promotional testing, have also been included in this new edition. The downloadable resources include tools (which may be used on a trial evaluation basis) describing several of the functions described in the book, including Adverse Impact Toolkità , Test Validation and Analysis Programà (TVAPà ), Guidelines Oriented Job Analysisà (GOJAà ) Manual, and Content Validity Checklists. This highly pragmatic guide goes beyond the concepts, theories and ideas behind adverse impact and test validation. It not only explains what to do but crucially, also shows you how to do it. The second edition has been expanded to include two brand new chapters with a new Appendix and comes with new editions of the accompanying software. As a means of protecting your organization from litigation, damage to employee relations and to your corporate reputation, Adverse Impact and Test Validation is a 'must-have' purchase for human resource professionals, testing and recruitment specialists.Trade ReviewReviews from the first edition: 'Before the resurgence of the civil rights movement in the middle of the twentieth century, many employers had relegated the development of employee selection procedures to persons of the technician level. This was reinforced by some academics employment selection "cookbooks". These activities led to the use of many improper selection procedures that not only hurt the employment prospects of many groups, but also served no useful purpose for the employer. As new civil rights acts became effective and guidelines regarding employee selection were promulgated, it was quickly realized by both employers and psychologists-both in industry and academia-that the technical issues were far beyond the technician level. In fact even today, some of the issues are so complicated that only a small minority of psychologists can rightly claim to really understand them. Dr Biddle's book is an excellent effort to bridge the gap between the technical and the practical. The procedures presented are informed by the most relevant technical information and by present legal requirements. This book is best suited for non-technicians who have at least a general foundation of relevant technical knowledge.' Mary L.

Harvard University Press Writing for Hire
Book SynopsisProfessional writers may earn a tidy living for their work, but they seldom own their writing. Catherine Fisk traces the history of labor relations that defined authorship in film, TV, and advertising in the mid-twentieth century, showing why strikingly different norms of attribution emerged in these overlapping industries.Trade ReviewThis is an incisive work of scholarship and historical reconstruction that not only captures the dilemma of authorship in corporatized film, TV, and advertising but also demonstrates the central importance of good old-fashioned trade unionism in defending the creativity, status, and income of even the most renowned writers. For any ‘knowledge worker’ vexed about his or her place in the gig economy, Catherine Fisk’s eye-opening book is essential reading. -- Nelson Lichtenstein, author of A Contest of Ideas: Capital, Politics, and LaborDrawing on previously unexplored archival sources, Catherine Fisk has produced a rich and rewarding comparison of two parallel cultures of professional writers doing similar work in different industries. Fisk’s book combines a captivating narrative with insightful legal, economic, and social analysis of how writers, movie studios, and advertising agencies grappled with issues of attribution in the formative decades of radio, film, and television. -- R. Anthony Reese, University of California, Irvine School of LawOpening the archives of firms, guilds, and corporations, Catherine Fisk uncovers the stories of dozens of writer-employees and the rapidly changing parameters of their work. Madison Avenue and Hollywood appear as we’ve never seen them before—as twin sectors of the work-for-hire economy separated at birth by divergent practices of attribution, recognition, and unionization. Writing for Hire makes labor history an indispensable means of understanding copyright in the twentieth century and beyond. -- Paul K. Saint-Amour, author of Tense Future: Modernism, Total War, Encyclopedic FormCatherine Fisk has written an immensely readable historical study of the legal and social significance of creative authorship in the American entertainment and advertising industries. Writing for Hire provides clarity and insight on questions of authorship, intellectual property, and unionization—all of which are essential concerns for anyone working in or studying the creative industries today. -- Miranda Banks, author of The Writers: A History of American Screenwriters and Their GuildAn illuminating work for everyone interested in histories of ‘the author,’ of intellectual property, of unionization, and of Hollywood. Fisk tells a largely unknown story of labor success. And along the way, she uses her imaginative and extensive research to offer something close to an ethnography of contracting behavior and the cultural underpinnings of contracting in twentieth-century America. -- Hendrik Hartog, Princeton University

Princeton University Press Black and Blue African Americans the Labor
Book SynopsisIn the 1930s, fewer than one in one hundred US labor union members were African American. By 1980, the figure was more than one in five. This book explores the politics and history that led to this integration of organized labor. It also tells the story about how the Democratic Party unintentionally sowed the seeds of labor's decline.Trade ReviewWinner of the 2009 Best Book Award in Race, Ethnicity, and Politics, American Political Science Association "Black and Blue is an exceptional study of the relationships between the civil rights and labor movements during the second half of the twentieth century...His study of the particular details of this struggle, as well as the institutional circumstances that guided the struggle will be discussed for years to come."--Mark Graber, Balkinization "Paul Frymer's Black and Blue is an important book, precisely because it takes what should be so obvious to scholars and makes it appear as such. At least since the mid-1980s, scholars have debated the 'rise and fall' of the labor-civil rights movement and its relationship to the power and authority of the Democratic party. Combining the methodologies of politics, the law, and history, Frymer's interdisciplinary work should help settle this long-running debate and contribute to new (and perhaps even more productive) avenues of inquiry."--Peter F. Lau, Journal of American History "Black and Blue is a powerful demonstration of how a different theoretical paradigm can result in new interpretations of not only historical events, but current understandings of both racism and judicial legitimacy. Although there are many unanswered questions resulting from this intriguing book, it offers some fruitful new directions for the burgeoning scholarship in intersectionality, as well as continuing in the traditions of American Political Development and New Institutionalism."--Michelle D. Deardorff, Law and Politics Book Review "[T]his is an exceptionally interesting book. Frymer makes new arguments, uses fresh evidence, and addresses important questions. He casts new light on the historical relationship between labor and the civil rights movement."--Michael P. Hanagan, American Journal of Sociology "Black and Blue is an important contribution to the interdisciplinary literature on race and the U.S. labor movement. Its evidence is fresh and stimulating, its arguments original and compelling, and its conclusions matter. This is a book not only scholars but also activists should read."--Nancy MacLean, Industrial and Labor Relations Review "Frymer fruitfully subjects courts to the kind of institutional analysis generally reserved for the political branches. His conclusion that the New Deal led to a new role for courts as agents of, rather than checks on, state-building is one ripe for historical elaboration. That his focus on the changing role of the courts may obscure changes occurring elsewhere in government and society should not deter historians from engaging with this excellent book."--Sophia Z. Lee, Journal of Law and History Review "The story Frymer tells in this slender volume is a provocative and essential one... [A] fine and thoughtful book."--James Wolfinger, The Historian "Paul Frymer has written a book that deserves to take its place as one of the canonical texts for students and scholars interested in exploring the troubled intersection of race and class in American political development (APD)... Black and Blue is an ambitious and well-executed project that enhances our understanding of its subject."--Janice Fine, Perspectives on PoliticsTable of ContentsPreface vii List of Abbreviations xiii CHAPTER 1: Introduction 1 CHAPTER 2: The Dual Development of National Labor Policy 22 CHAPTER 3: The NAACP Confronts Racism in the Labor Movement 44 CHAPTER 4: The Legal State 70 CHAPTER 5: Labor Law and Institutional Racism 98 CHAPTER 6: Conclusion: Law and Democracy 128 Notes 141 Index 195

[T]he book is well written ... a valuable contribution to the literature."--Paul Moreno, Journal of American History "[T]he main narrative of the book, grounded in extensive research and reading on mid-twentieth-century politics, makes a valuable contribution to the growing literature on the opposition to civil rights and its link to modern American conservatism."--Tracy E. K'Meyer, Register of the Kentucky Historical Society "The Fifth Freedom is a thoughtful and challenging book. The chapters on state antidiscrimination measures are illuminating accounts of grass-roots debates over the public policy of race in the North during the heyday of civil-rights activism in the South. Indeed, Chen makes a compelling case that the classic narrative of the postwar struggle for racial justice in the South has obscured the equally fierce, if less lethal, battle for employment rights that raged throughout the northern states during those years... [A] valuable addition to the literature on the civil-rights era."--Robert H. Zieger, Business History Review "The Fifth Freedom is a comprehensive, compelling account of affirmative action's development. Appropriate for graduate-level methods courses, where Chen's incisive use of quantitative models should prompt valuable discussion of scholarly approaches, this impressive contribution to scholarship on postwar US culture should be read by any student of twentieth-century America."--David Kieran, Journal of American Studies "Fifth Freedom is a fine text (appropriate for most graduate courses), engagingly written, stunningly thorough, and certain to be integral to charting the trajectory for future research on affirmative action."--David Crockett, Journal of African American HistoryTable of ContentsList of Illustrations ix List of Tables xi Preface and Acknowledgments xiii Abbreviations xxi Chapter 1: On the Origins of Affirmative Action: Puzzles and Perspectives 1 Chapter 2: The Strange Career of Fair Employment Practices in National Politics and Policy, 1941-1960 32 Chapter 3: Experimenting with Civil Rights: The Politics of Ives-Quinn in New York State, 1941-1945 88 Chapter 4: Laboratories of Democracy?

Bowen Award, Industrial Relations Section of Princeton University Honorable Mention for the 2015 David J. Langum, Sr. Prize for American Legal History/Biography, Langum Charitable Trust "Woloch retells the history of protective legislation as a scholarly page-turner, complete with 'close calls and near misses, false hopes and unintended consequences'... The resulting narrative leaves readers with a deeper appreciation for both the messiness of feminist polities and the power of history as a tool for helping us see the world fresh."--Amy Richter, Law and History Review "Woloch does a remarkable job of pulling a wide array of disparate events together to form a single narrative supporting her central theme... This text is highly recommended for any university or academic law library."--Miriam A. Murphy, Law Library Journal "A Class by Herself is a masterful history of interest group politics that shaped government, business and labor relations, and gender politics throughout the twentieth century. Labor organizers, clubwomen, judges, pro-business attorneys, reformers and their lawyer allies, bureaucrats, feminists, and aggrieved workers all receive attention in this superb history of protective labor legislation."--Kathleen A. Laughlin, American Historical Review "A fascinating story of 'false hopes and unintended consequences.'"--Lara Vapnek, Reviews in American History "Sophisticated and meticulously researched... The first study to provide a comprehensive view of sex-specific labor laws over their more than century-long existence. Woloch's work will no doubt become indispensible to the history of gendered labor law."--Jan Doolitle Wilson, Journal of American History "Historian Woloch analyzes the fraught history of protective laws for women workers. She skillfully synthesizes many strands of the historiography of protective legislation while making an original contribution with close analyses of the people and particulars of key court cases and decisions that shaped the reformist and legislative landscape over a century... Woloch deftly illustrates how post-1960, arguments for workplace equality based on 14th Amendment protections ultimately trumped those based on difference--but not without difficulty, as evidenced by debates over maternal health and leave policies."--Choice "A magisterial achievement...

MP-KAN Uni Press of Kansas Lochner v.New York Economic Regulation on Trial
Book SynopsisLochner v. New York pitted a conservative activist judiciary against a reform-minded legislature, and is a frequently-cited case in Supreme Court history. In this guide Kens shows why the case remains an important marker in the ideological battles between the free market and the regulatory state.Trade Review“This is a welcome contribution. Kens places the Lochner decision firmly within its historical context and uses it as a window to an age. In the course of his narrative, Kens introduces the reader to an array of subjects including the noisome conditions in New York’s tenement bakeries, Progressive reformers and Tammany Hall politics; nineteenth-century intellectual, economic, and labor history; and the lives and personalities of important jurists and lawyers.”—Law and History Review

Rlpg/Galleys Progressive Lawyers under Siege
Book SynopsisThis book analyzes the culture within the San Francisco law firm of Gladstein, Andersen, and Leonard (circa 1945-1965). The partners were harassed by the FBI primarily for defending labor union members and leaders, given the FBI’s interest in controlling the Communist Party.Trade ReviewProgressive Lawyers Under Siege recovers a long-hidden history of McCarthy era efforts by the FBI to investigate, harass, and intimidate progressive lawyers. Wark and Galliher take us inside the social and legal worlds of McCarthyism through a fine grained analysis of FBI files that targeted a high-profile progressive law firm in San Francisco in the 1940s and 1950s. The authors paint a vivid picture of the anti-Semitic, anti-labor, and racially motivated efforts by the FBI to monitor and repress attorneys working on behalf of those fighting for economic and racial justice in an age of anti-Communist hysteria. Progressive Lawyers Under Siege, is no mere coda to history. In light of U.S. government efforts to penalize attorneys who represented suspected terrorists after the attacks of September 11, 2001, and subsequent revelations of widespread electronic surveillance of the U.S. population, this book offers a powerful cautionary tale about the lengths federal law enforcement will go to repress those who would provide legal counsel to people the government believes (often wrongly) to be enemies of the state. -- Raymond J. Michalowski, Northern Arizona UniversityIt was the time of brave, principled lawyers who offered magnificent representation for isolated individuals against the massed resources of the state. For starters we only have to look at the determined defense of Owen Lattimore, "the #1 Soviet spy," according to the unlamented Sen. McCarthy by Thurman Arnold and Abe Fortas. This must-read book offers painful reminders of the failure of prominent lawyers against the abusers of our Rule of Law. -- Stanley KutlerTable of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: Blacklisting during the Cold War Chapter 3: Lawyers and the Micro Environments in American Law Firms during the 1930s to the 1960s Chapter 4: San Francisco and the Bay Area during the 1930s through the 1960s Chapter 5: Harry Bridges Chapter 6: George R.

University Press of America Human Resource Management Study Games
Book SynopsisHuman Resource Management Study Games offers a variety of short games to help human resource practitioners and students study for human resource-related certifications and learn new aspects of human resource management. The games focus on learning terms and laws, brainstorming human resource concepts, understanding human resource laws in a consistent and organized way, and experiencing a sample of multiple choice questions in the major areas of human resources. With the help of this book, human resource instructors can develop game-oriented ways to teach for-credit university human resource classes and noncredit certification courses.Trade ReviewDr. Kaupins’ premise that games make for effective study techniques is right on target—it makes studying fun and memorable. Have fun and enjoy your studies in HR! -- Terrence Bishop, Professor of Human Resource Management, Northern Illinois UniversityHuman Resource Management Study Games is an innovative approach with many concepts that will attract faculty and HR trainers because of its global usefulness, ease of use, the synergy it creates, and ‘real world’ application. This book encourages a novel way of learning other than reading or sitting through a lecture. It can be adapted for a myriad of uses other than the classroom such as certifications, organizational development and training. The ‘hands on’ concept is very novel in that it creates direct contact and enables participants with different learning abilities to successfully learn with better retention. These exercises will ensure participation of everyone involved in any learning process, maintain their attention, and provide almost immediate feedback. I would highly recommend this book to faculty and anyone involved in the training field. -- Malcolm Coco, Professor of Human Resource Management, Abilene Christian UniversityTable of ContentsForeword Preface Acknowledgments Chapter 1: Why Play Games?
