| Summary |
Even in an era of sweeping change in all walks of life, the ongoing transformation of the world of work stands out. With the convergence of globalized markets, multinational corporate employers, and new information technologies, the old secure and stable world of offices and factories has gone the way of the dinosaurs. Inevitably, the traditional legal regimes applicable to labour and industrial relations have been altered beyond recognition, and continue to undergo rapid change. In this compilation, the authors bring their perspectives from a wide range of contexts to describe the salient characteristics and trends in labour law and industrial relations in the world today |
