Product Description
Review
"I have practiced labor and employment law for over twenty years and I think this is the best text for a basic labor and employment law class… It's simple to read and straightforward. I tell my students to keep the book and not sell it because it is quite helpful for the basic questions they will be asked in the work world."
"The text is well laid-out, and is written in language that is appropriate for the students; there is no reason for the students to not read the text. The questions that follow the edited cases help to focus the student's analysis of the case in question, its relevance to the topic, and introduce the student to legal concepts and outcomes they tend to neglect or may not fully understand..."
"Excellent balance of in-depth case-law readings, related ethical considerations, Internet resources, and foundational materials for the non-lawyer audience."

Book Description
A comprehensive introduction to employment and labor relations law, EMPLOYMENT AND LABOR LAW is ideal for non-legal students and professionals. Excerpts from real case law throughout the book illustrate how labor-related disputes arise and get resolved in the courts. And, eye-opening chapter features like The Working Law and Ethical Dilemma demonstrate how labor legislation and ethical decision-making can impact companies today. Complete with the most up-to-date information on the ADA Amendments Act, ERISA Amendments under the Obama Administration's 2009 economic stimulus plan, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and much more, no other book combines such balanced coverage with an accessible, reader-friendly approach.

Worth it or Bust it!,
By
This review is from: Employment and Labor Law (Hardcover)
This book is very well written, with solid legal definitions, along with additional case examples to show recent court rulings. I however feel the price paid for this book is a tad bit to steep! I have paid less for other labor books that are equal to the quality shown forth in this book. There is nothign so profound or so unique to justify such a expensive price.

Great Legal Handbook,
By Ty Hyderally "Ty Hyderally" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Employment and Labor Law (Hardcover)
This is a great book regarding employment law. Not only is it very well written, it is very easy to follow. I like that there are several examples of cases regarding employment law and also lists of current rulings. This is very helpful! It is certainly a recommendation for laymen and lawyers alike.
