International Labour Law Handbook: from A to Z
 |
| Anteprima |
This
International Labour Law Handbook from A to Z aims to give a
comprehensive overview of the development and current status of labour
law and industrial relations issues, including globalization and
international labour standards. In this Handbook there are
cross-references to international labour standards and European Union
directives, resolutions and regulations. In this respect, the reader
will notice that some of the definitions from the public domain are
taken from legislative and specialized texts dealing with international
standards and institutions in general. This International Labour Law
Handbook from A to Z is in no way intended to offer an exhaustive and
detailed treatment of all labour law and industrial relations issues,
rather a reference tool on selected issues found in international
instruments and/or social institutions. With this objective in mind, and
to make the significant provisions of labour law and industrial
relations more understandable to a wider audience, certain liberties
have been taken by the authors when reformulating and, in several cases,
simplifying the terminology involved. The International Labour Law
Handbook should not be used or regarded as an authoritative text on
individual international labour standards or on European Union labour
law, but as an easy reference work for practitioners and scholars in the
field of comparative labour law and industrial relations. Prof. Gianni
ARRIGO is Professor of Labour Law at the University of Bari. He has
written extensively on International and European Union Labour Law,
industrial relations, workers' participation and many other subjects
dealing with the world of work. He is President of EIDOS (Rome). He is
member of editorial boards of specialized journals in labour law and
industrial relations. He is a consultant with the ILO, the EC and
several other European and Italian organisations. Prof. Giuseppe CASALE
is the Deputy Director of the Intentional Training Centre of the ILO
and Director of the Turin School of Development. He is the Secretary
General of the International Society for Labour and Social Security Law
(ISLSSL). Visiting Professor at the Cà Foscari University of Venice. He
has many publications on international and comparative labour law,
industrial relations, employment relationship, labour administration and
labour inspection.
