Publisher's Synopsis
With issues such as immigration and globalization triggering social and
legislative adjustments in all major legal systems, labor and employment law
is particularly susceptible to change. In this special issue of the
Comparative Law Year book of International Business, practitioners who are
specialized in labor and employment law provide reports on developments in
national systems such as Australia, Canada, Chile, the Czech Republic, France,
Germany, Greece, Japan, and New Zealand and examine selected issues in the
Czech Republic (termination of employment), Latvia (transfer of undertakings),
the United States (ranging from sexual harassment in the work place and the
ability of partners and share holders to sue employers to employee dress
code), and Ukraine (hiring and dismissal procedures).
