Atleson, Compa, Rittich, Sharpe and Weiss' International Labor Law: Cases and Materials on Workers' Rights in the Global Economy

Comprehensive in scope, International Labor Law examines labor rights and labor standards in multilateral and regional institutions like the World Trade Organization, International Labor Organization, Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and European Union; regional and bilateral trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement and more recent bilateral agreements with developing countries; the new labor-trade "template" in U.S. trade policy; and private initiatives like anti-sweatshop campaigns and corporate codes of conduct. Thematic chapters deal with labor rights lawsuits in U.S. courts, cross-border labor organizing and bargaining, migrant workers, women workers in the global economy, and child labor.
