Gross A., James, Ed.. Workers' Rights as Human Rights (ILR Press, 2003)

Abstract:
This collected volume, edited by James A. Gross, approaches various questions of US labor relations law from an international human rights perspective. Representing both labor and employer views, these authors debate such issues such: whether US labor law violates ILO core labor standards; whether human rights are in fact universal; what should be done to bring US labor law into conformity with international human rights standards; and whether health and safety protections ought be included in international core labor regimes. Other contributors claim that the efforts of workers themselves—through increased transnational solidarity and labor/community alliances—hold the secret to the advancement of workers rights. In sum, each chapter of the volume offers a variant perspective on the intersection between US labor law and human rights. This book contains contributions by: James A. Gross, Lance Compa, Lee Swepston, Emily A. Spieler, Edward E. Potter, Thomas B. Moorhead, Roy J. Adams, James Atleson, Linda A. Lotz, Reverend Jim Lewis.
