The European Union and international labour standards : the dynamics of dialogue between the EU and the ILO / Tonia Novitz Summary "The contributors to this volume argue that international agreements and institutions are of central importance if labour rights are to be protected in a globalized economy. But the report cards they give to the World Trade Organization, the European Union, NAFTA, and the Free Trade Agreement of the Americas are generally very critical. While there is a strong rhetorical commitment to labour rights, at least on the part of the U.S. and the EU, the substance of what has been achieved to date is hardly impressive. The role of the International Labour Organization is central and the authors explore some of the options that are open to governments, civil society, and the labour movement in the years ahead."--BOOK JACKET Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Labor laws and legislation.
