Mayfield K: Understanding Federal
Employment Law

Understanding Federal Employment Law

A Guide for Federal Employees and Their Attorneys

Tradd Street Press

"Industrial Arbitration in Great Britain" is a definitive study of the evolution of collective bargaining and dispute resolution mechanisms within the United Kingdom. Written by the esteemed Lord Amulree, who served as the first President of the Industrial Court, the work provides an authoritative account of the transition from informal labor negotiations to a structured system of industrial arbitration.The text traces the historical development of labor law, examining the legislative milestones and social conditions that necessitated government intervention in industrial strife. It covers the rise of trade unions and employers' associations, analyzing how these parties interacted within the framework of various Conciliation Acts and the establishment of formal arbitration bodies.This work is of significant value to scholars of economic history, labor law, and industrial relations. It offers a unique perspective on the challenges of maintaining industrial peace in a changing economic landscape. By detailing the principles of both voluntary and compulsory arbitration, "Industrial Arbitration in Great Britain" serves as an essential record of the legal and social efforts to harmonize the interests of labor and capital during a formative era in British history.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Hart Monographs in Transnational and International Law

This book delves into the legal and labour history of the Hashemite Kingdom of Iraq to explore the role international law and its institutions played in Iraq's state formation.Focusing on a turbulent period in global and Middle East history, it shows how the case of Iraq became a laboratory for experimentation with the concept of sovereignty by the Permanent Mandates Commission of the League of Nations in Geneva. This resulted in the development of a doctrine of 'semiperipheral sovereignty' to justify Iraq's independence from the Mandate process. This novel doctrine and its operation within the provisions of the 1930 Anglo-Iraq Treaty ensured the maintenance of British dominance over Iraq, especially to safeguard the extraction and transportation of its valuable oil resources to Western markets.The book traces how this legal doctrine impacted the everyday lives of working class Iraqis. It explores the governance of the extraterritorial spaces of capitalist accumulation and labour exploitation, in particular the Iraq Petroleum Company oil fields, the Iraq State Railways and the Port of Basra. It goes on to detail how the oil, railway and port workers led by the Iraqi Communist Party effectively organised themselves into a nationalist revolutionary labour movement. They waged an anti-colonial struggle against these imperial legal structures to improve their lot, leading up to the 1948 Wathba, the 1953 Intifada, and ultimately the July Revolution of 1958, which upended the British-sponsored monarchy.Spanning various international archives and Arabic primary source materials, this book offers an example of a social, legal and labour history written from below, centering ordinary working peoples' agency in the historiography of international law. Drawing on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL) and Marxist methodologies, it emphasises the significance of the semi-periphery in the making of the international legal order.

The Employer's Legal Handbook

This book brings together leading scholars from private law and employment law to reflect upon private law doctrines as they relate to the employment contract. Developing an interdisciplinary dialogue, these contributions explore the regulatory functions of private law doctrines at the cutting edge of modern employment law. Topics include the potential and limitations of private law damages; the role of injunctions and specific performance; the interactions between express and implied terms; vicarious liability; substantial performance and breach; and the common law right to work. The integration of scholarly perspectives from the realms of private law and employment law enriches and deepens our understanding of core private law doctrines. Historically, employment law was defined in terms of its autonomy from general private law. This achievement of autonomy was highly prized, and considered necessary to facilitate industrial freedoms for trade unions and the protection of employees from exploitation. But the contractual basis of employment means that any such autonomy has always been partial and unstable. Furthermore, as trade unions have declined and governments have deregulated statutory employment rights, private law has assumed growing practical importance in strategic appellate litigation. In many common law jurisdictions, private law doctrines have become the new battleground between employers, workers and trade unions. The essays in this book examine specific doctrinal issues against this dynamic backdrop of changing social, economic and constitutional conditions. While focused mainly on English law, the essays also consider examples from other jurisdictions including Australia and Scotland. As private law becomes the default regulation for most employment contracts in 21st-century labour markets across the world, this book is an essential resource for practitioners, judges, academics and students.

Private Law and the Employment Contract

This book investigates measures to increase diversity in the legal profession of England and Wales and the impact of equality law on what has been done, focussing on how law enables organisations lawfully to take positive or affirmative action. The book combines a qualitative interview study of lawyers, legal regulators, recruitment consultants and other civil society actors, with analysis of developments in the legal profession, in equality law and in understanding of the role of law in society. The evidence paints a puzzling picture of the law on positive action being both very little known and seen as limiting what employers do to advance equality, much as significant positive action has been taken anyway, at least in this section of the legal profession. The glimpse into legal practice revealed complex attitudes, persistent barriers to fundamental change, and, in hindsight, that the larger forces driving inequality mean that liberalizing positive action laws was never likely to make much difference. This case study therefore cautions against overestimating equality law's power to deliver change while putting forward strategies for enhancing its effectiveness. At the broadest level, the book argues for frank acknowledgment of law's limitations, a stronger focus on understanding how legal interventions function in practice before deploying them, and for the full implications of law's limits to be traced through in politics and society. The urgent need is for renewed effort to discover and build other mechanisms for addressing inequality and the many other major challenges we currently face.

The Dynamics of Industrial Relations

A rich history of the development of American minimum wage policy with lessons for today. Despite broad popular support for robust minimum wage policy, the federal minimum wage is now worth less--in real, inflation-adjusted terms--than at any time since 1949. While some state and local governments have stepped in to fill this void, others have declined to set any minimum wage standard at all. Traversing more than 100 years of history, Raising the Floor examines how interest groups have navigated the highly decentralized American political system to shape the development of federal, state, and local minimum wage laws. In her analysis, Shanna Rose highlights the importance of American federalism. She argues that because federalism creates multiple arenas for policy change, interest groups have sought out the sites most conducive to their goals, shifting their lobbying efforts as new obstacles and opportunities emerge. Federalism has facilitated minimum wage policymaking by fostering policy experimentation, learning, and diffusion across states and by allowing state and local governments to overcome gridlock and status-quo biases at the national level. Yet, federalism has also been an instrument for containment, enabling those opposed to minimum wage increases to litigate and preempt local-level laws. With rich historical chapters that illuminate different phases in the development of today's patchwork of wage standards, Raising the Floor is a deep examination of the past, present, and future of American minimum wage law.

Oxford Labour Law

Unfree labour is not a relic of pre-modern economies, nor a peripheral concern within contemporary labour regulation. It is not confined to criminal enterprises or the illicit margins of the market. Rather, it is sustained, expanded, and legitimated by state institutions that claim to be its citizens' guardians. Underpaid and Unrecognized: State-Induced Unfree Labour begins from the premise that, in the UK, the modern state does not merely tolerate unfree labour; it produces and profits from it.

The rise of a precarious workforce has been the subject of study and concern over the past decade. But there is a growing sector of workers who enjoy even less protection due to their exclusion from traditional labour rights and regulations. Importantly, this work is not considered 'illegal', but rather is initiated and organised by governments. The book focuses on four UK case studies: prison work, workfare, work within immigration detention centres, and internships. This work creates surplus value for not only the State, but also for private corporations.

Authors Katie Bales and Amir Paz-Fuchs analyse the legal position of these workers and reflect on the growing privatisation of State functions Building on work developed by sociologists and socio-legal scholars, the authors develop the position that this labour should be considered 'unfree' and explore the ways in which the exploitation of such workers could be reduced through collective action, the recognition of workers' employment status, and the expansion of employment rights.
