Labor Relations And The Law In Italy And The United States

This book covers the principles of Labour Law and Industrial Relations in Italy in a broad sense. After a General Introduction covering the general features, historical background and definitions, the book goes on to discuss the sources of labour law and indutrial relations, and the organs instrumental in forming policy, such as governmental institutions. The main body of the work is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the individual employment relationship and discusses, among other things, labour contracts, the rights and duties of employees, and remuneration and benefits. The second part deals with collective labour relations, and focuses on trade unions rights, collective bargaining and industrial conflict.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on labour law in Italy not only describes and analyses the legal aspects of labour relations, but also examines labour relations practices and developing trends. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting. Both individual and collective labour relations are covered in ample detail, with attention to such underlying and pervasive factors as employment contracts, suspension of the contracts, dismissal laws and covenant of non-competition, as well as international private law. The author describes all important details of the law governing hours and wages, benefits, intellectual property implications, trade union activity, employersand’ associations, workersand’ participation, collective bargaining, industrial disputes, and much more. Building on a clear overview of labour law and labour relations, the book offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. It will find a ready readership among lawyers representing parties with interests in Italy, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative trends in laws affecting labour and labour relations. and and and

The Role of the State and Industrial Relations', using a comparative approach (the European Union, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Japan, China, the United States, Brazil, South Africa and India), reconstructs the general framework of global industrial relations considering challenges and future prospects and proposing a new agenda for the state. The new era of industrial relations that has been stealthily changing the world of work in recent decades seems to have reached a stage where it can be systematically monitored and analyzed, in great part because the "creeping renationalization" that has been noted since the financial crisis of 2008 has reinvigorated state intervention in essential economic structures. In the globalized word, with the internationalization of the economy and increasing competitive pressures, industrial relations are developing in new directions. The contributions in this book provide important new perspectives on the many challenges inherent in the present and future of the relationship between industrial relations and the state.
