A Complete Guide to Employee Rights and Employer Responsibilities

Your Rights at Work

Oxford Labour Law

Freedom of association for workers and trade unions lies at the centre of labour law. Traditionally, trade union rights were structured through detailed labour codes governing organisation, collective bargaining, and the right to strike, with limited involvement from ordinary courts. This insulated labour law from common law principles and supported a mid-20th-century model built on assumptions of industrial equilibrium and political consensus. However, over the past five decades, deregulation and the erosion of collective bargaining have pushed workers and unions toward constitutional claims based on freedom of association to challenge restrictive labour laws.

This monograph explores the evolving encounter between labour law and human rights law in this domain. Focusing on the UK, the European Convention on Human Rights, and Canada, it analyses conflicts among employers, governments, and trade unions as courts increasingly adjudicate freedom-of-association claims. The book identifies a consistent judicial pattern distinguishing between the "individual" and "collective" dimensions of the right. In individual cases^-^such as victimisation by employers or unions-courts intervene to protect workers' equal moral standing, reflecting principles of equality before the law and non-discrimination. In collective cases^-^such as determining bargaining agents or the procedural rules governing strikes-courts generally defer to legislatures to preserve democratic autonomy in industrial relations.

Drawing on legal history and controversies surrounding trade union membership, collective bargaining, strikes, and the closed shop, the book defends a model of freedom of association that upholds both the dignity of workers and the structural autonomy of labour law.

From Labour Law to the Constitution

Freedom of Association

Across the Americas and Europe, far right governments have turned trade unions into prime political targets. Over the past decade, they have waged coordinated 'wars' on labour - cutting resources, reforming welfare, criminalising protest, weaponising labour laws and delegitimizing unions - in polities shaped by neoliberal restructuring and democratic backsliding. Drawing on cases from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Hungary, Italy, Spain and the United States, this book is the first to map the far right's war on unions globally, examining strategies to damage unions as organisations and democratic actors. It asks what remains of labour in an emerging post liberal order.

The Far Right and Workers in the 21st Century

The War on Unions

This book focuses on the evolving definition of an employee, a concept fundamental to labour law protection.As economic and social conditions in labour markets shift, traditional definitions have increasingly proven insufficient to encompass all individuals in need of protection. This has implications in multiple legal domains, including domestic laws, EU law, and international law. It also impacts various facets of labour law, such as social security and taxation. The book contributes to this ongoing debate by offering a novel perspective on the characteristics of integrated working activity, as derived from the European Commission's regulatory practice and the Court of Justice of the European Union's (CJEU) case law on competition law, specifically concerning integrated workers and agents. It critically examines the prevailing 'subordination' paradigm, which has been the traditional basis for classifying workers, but is increasingly inadequate in the modern labour context. Building upon this, the book presents a new theoretical framework for classifying workers within labour law frameworks.This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of EU Law, Labour Law, Competition Law and Business Law.

Smith & Wood's Employment Law

This open access book brings together leading European labour law scholars to explore how workers' representatives' rights are evolving in the context of the digital transformation of work. Rooted in EU and national legal frameworks, the book examines how information and consultation (I&amp;C) rights must adapt to the challenges posed by platform work, algorithmic management, cross-border telework, and digitalisation more broadly. Structured around 4 key themes-Who is entitled to I&amp;C rights; Where these rights apply in transnational and virtual workplaces; How they are exercised in the context of AI, occupational safety, and industrial democracy; and What new rights are emerging in response to digital risks-the book offers a comprehensive and comparative analysis of labour law in the digital age. It pays particular attention to the role of workers' representatives in shaping and implementing emerging rights such as the right to disconnect. Drawing on the findings of the DIGILARE research project (EU grant 101126503), the volume provides actionable legal and policy insights for EU institutions, national lawmakers, social partners, and practitioners. It proposes reforms to strengthen democratic participation, enhance transparency in algorithmic decision-making, and safeguard workers' autonomy in increasingly fragmented and remote work environments. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

EU Legal Perspectives

Information and Consultation Rights in the Digital Workplace

Internal inquiries conducted by employers into suspected misconduct by employees-commonly known as workplace investigations-are significant and common processes in Australia. These investigations carry significant implications for all involved, especially for the employee under scrutiny. Workplace Investigations offers the first comprehensive legal analysis of how such processes are regulated.

Drawing on interdisciplinary literature and employing doctrinal, theoretical, and empirical legal research methods, Adriana Orifici examines the central dimensions of law-both statutory and judge-made-that govern employer conduct during investigations. The book critically evaluates these frameworks with a focus on the rights and experiences of the respondent.

Central to the volume is the development of a normative framework of justice tailored to workplace investigations. This framework, grounded in ideas about workplace democracy and citizenship, identifies nine key elements that should guide fair and lawful employer conduct. These principles inform a proposal for legal reform aimed at enhancing procedural fairness and accountability. 

While rooted in the Australian context, Workplace Investigations offers insights and recommendations that resonate across common law jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Canada.
