Employment Relations in the United States
Law, Policy, and Practice
- Raymond L Hogler - Colorado State University, USA
Business & Management (General)
"An impressive work of meticulous scholarship...provides students with an historical background and context leading to an understanding of how the American system of the organized labor movement developed and just how it differs from system in other industrialized nations. Of special interest is Hogler's unique historical and evolutionary oriented explanation of the developmental history and nature of employment relations. Highly recommended reading -- especially for students of American employment relations and labor history."
"Mr. Hogler, a professor of labor relations and human resource management at Colorado State University, presents a superbly written, lucidly argued work. It deserves a wide audience of students as well as experts with a deep interest in today's 'labor question.'"
"Employment Relations analyzes the limits of these existing laws in the new political economy and suggests that in order to rebuild sustainable and just employment environments, a revival of worker collective action is crucial. Hogler's underlying political goal is to frame employment and labor laws in a way that illuminates their inherent connection to wealth distribution, status, and security."
An interesting and fascinating look at ER in the USA, with good discussion and commentary.
