Cihon (law & public policy, Syracuse U.) and Castagnera (associate provost, Rider U.) present a classroom introduction to employment and labor law. The text is organized into four major
areas: common-law employment issues, equal opportunity law and issues, labor relations, and other employment law. The authors explain various legal protections, liberties, and processes of
recourse for both employers, employees, and unions. They make extensive use of case-law, how to read cases, and show how to discern their implications for employment or labor disputes. They are
historically sensitive to the changes in law brought by the labor movement and its decline. This 8th edition updates case material; offers new end-of-chapter problem types; a new guide to
briefing cases; new concept summaries and key terms; and new or expanded chapters on immigration and international law, discrimination, employment law overview, and privacy. Copious online
materials for instructors and students include full statutes, a video library, PowerPoint slides, and Westlaw access. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
