Abstract:
The Employment Relations Act 1999 affected major changes to collective labour law in Britain: a procedure for the mandatory recognition of trade unions by employers; more extensive (albeit still limited) protection for employees against dismissal for taking part in industrial action; and greater protection for trade union members against discrimination by employers. However, much of the Conservative Government's legacy in this area remains untouched, including the legislation that governs whether industrial action is lawful and trade union governance.

Abstract:
Articled students in Canada tend to be exempt from provincial employment standards legislation, which govern minimum hourly wages and overtime and statutory holiday pay rates. Exemption from these provisions, along with the strong power dynamic present in the articled student-principal relationship, has fostered exploitative working conditions for articled students. To justify the exclusion of articled students from employment standards legislation, supporters of the status quo have propagated the narrative that articled students’ labour is not that of an employee, despite evidence to the cont

Abstract:
The technique of permitting unions to derogations from core employment standards has been increasingly advocated as a means of making labour law more flexible while still protecting workers since the union is considered to bring countervailing power in support of workers’ preferences. The new British Columbia Employment Standards Act contains a broad union derogation provision. Industrial relations experts have commented that employment standards that permit the opting out of statutory employee protections in this way invites corrupt arrangements between employers and employer-dominated unions

The right to work, a fundamental right under the Constitution, is embodied in individual labor relations laws, including the Labor Standards Act, and the recognition of worker status under the Labor Standards Act is the

Peru has one of the highest informality rates in Latin America, with almost 60 percent of the urban labor force working at the margins of labor market legislation or in microenterprises that lack basic labor market standards (Marcouiller, Ruiz de Castilla, and Woodruff, 1997). This paper identifies two factors that can explain the variation in informality rates in the 1990s. First, Peru experienced a steady increase in employment allocation in traditionally informal sectorsin particular, retail trade and transport.
