This book, to which an internationally distinguished group of scholars has contributed, examines the future of labor law from a wide variety of perspectives. Issues covered include the ideology of New Labour law; the employment relationship; the public/private divide; termination of employment; equality law; corporate governance; collective bargaining; workers’ participation; strikes; international labor standards; the role of EU law; the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights; labor law and development in Southern Africa; and the impact of globalization. The essays are written in honor of the outstanding labor lawyer Professor Sir Bob Hepple QC, who has contributed to so many areas of this dynamic field.
