Description
Gain a thorough understanding of today's employment and labor relations laws with Cihon/Castagnera's "Employment and Labor Law," 11th Edition. This comprehensive, engaging textbook uses excerpts from real case law to illustrate how labor-related disputes arise and are resolved in the courts. Eye-opening features, such as The Working Law and Ethical Dilemmas, demonstrate how labor legislation and ethical decision-making impact employees at all levels of organizations -- from hourly workers to owners. You will review the most up-to-date information on significant, contemporary topics, including those that are likely to impact your own career, e.g., GenAI. You will see the impact of the second Trump Administration, which has targeted DEI programs, international economic competition via tariffs, immigrants and international students and labor unions and the National Labor Relations Board.
