A Primer on American Labor Law

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'William B. Gould IV expertly informs analysis of how American labor law faces a crisis of indifference to the needs and interests of the workforce by drawing on his rich lifetime of experience in adjudicating and resolving labor disputes, advising policy makers, and studying the intricacies of labor law. The sixth edition of his Primer clarifies where the law is today, and provides clear and insightful signals of where it needs to go tomorrow.' Thomas A. Kochan, George M. Bunker Professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 'Gould's latest A Primer on American Labor Law is a bible for union members, elected leaders and staff that explains the legal constraints and opportunities for almost every situation. Using this book before consulting with lawyers will make your conversations more productive and could save you some billable hours.' Craig Merrilees, International Longshore and Warehouse Union 'Professor Gould IV does it again. The sixth edition A Primer on American Labor Law, is a comprehensive, yet incredibly accessible exploration into the intricacies of American labor law. It covers everything - history, legal doctrine, policy and practical considerations! A must read for anyone interested in understanding the US workplace.' Rafael Gely, James E. Campbell Missouri Endowed Professor of Law, University of Missouri 'A Primer on American Labor Law is an invaluable overview of labor law in the United States that is also readable and quite accessible to non-lawyers. We regularly commend it to our clients as well as to young attorneys who are novices in the field of labor law. Professor Gould IV has now updated his primer to review the extremely significant developments of the last five years, including last year's Supreme Court decision in the Janus case. Well worth reading for experienced labor law practitioners as well as for newcomers.' John Provost, Beeson, Tayer & Bodine
