Changing Institutional Face of British Employment Relations (Studies in Employment and Social Policy Set)

Employment protection in Britain, once seen as resting on collective bargaining supported by public policy, has increasingly come to be framed in terms of individual legal rights, enforceable before judicial forums such as employment tribunals. This dramatic shift towards juridification of the individual employment relationship has not only contributed towards significant changes to the institutional `landscape of employment relations in Britain, but also carries important implications for the future of employment law and regulation in `the home of collective bargaining . This comprehensive evaluation of current institutional reality and trends prepared to mark the 30th anniversary of the Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service (A

Charter of Social Rights of the Council of Europe (Studies in Employment and Social Policy)

The legal term “social rights” refers to the specific human rights addressed by labour law and social security law. On the European continent, these rights are protected not only by domestic law, but also by the European Social Charter of the Council of Europe of 1961, its three additional protocols (1988, 1991, and 1995), and the Revised European Social Charter of 1996. These instruments comprise a fundamental international treaty which not only specifies the relevant rights but also includes an array of supervisory mechanisms to monitor compliance, a regulatory role undertaken by the European Committee of Social Rights. This important book offers an in-depth analysis of the substantive and procedural issues

Contractualism in Employment Services: A New Form of Welfare State Governance (Studies in Employment and Social Policy Set)

For the modern welfare state support for those who are `out of work through no fault of their own remains a foundation stone. Now, however, under pressure form market-driven ideology focused on business performance, its composition and the way support is delivered is in a state of flux.

The contractualisation process is usually administered through a `reintegration service that may be partly or

Collective Agreements and Individual Contracts of Employment (Studies in Employment and Social Policy Set)

While it can be said that the use of collective labour agreements has greatly expanded during the last decade ¿ witness their growing application in the public sector, and their introduction in many post-communist countries ¿ it is hard to deny that their power to protect employees has diminished considerably and continues to weaken. An understanding of the factors that have contributed to this fundamental change in economic and social conditions is of crucial significance if we are to preserve an equitable balance in the employer-employee relationship. A growing body of research and commentary already surrounds this important subject. In this symposium sixteen outstanding scholars have assembled a preliminary survey of the essential i
