Jongbloed : Internationaal arbeidsrecht
This book is exactly such a resource. It provides in-depth interpretation of the crucial International Labour Organisation (ILO) instruments - Constitution, conventions, declarations, resolutions, and recommendations - as well as such other sources of law as the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and various model and actual corporate codes of conduct.
Among the substantive areas of labour law covered in this book are the following:
-the relationship between international labour law and economic competition
-standards on industrial relations
-collective bargaining and dispute settlement procedures
-protection of trade unions
-prohibitions on enforced and child labour
-promotion of equal opportunity and treatment
-time and rest provisions
-wage determination and protection
-occupational health and safety provisions
-special issues on non-standard forms of employment
-foreign and migrant workers
-social security provisions
This fifth edition of the book by Jean-Michel Servais analyses the potential of those standards in a globalized world, and the necessary evolution. It examines the actual implementation of those rules in the national context, comparing different experiences. It integrates the latest instruments. It examines the most recent public debates on labour regulation (dealing with health and security at work, personal data, minimum wages, social security, strikes, etc.), updates the bibliography and opens some perspectives for the future work of the global institutions.
