Canadian Labour Policy and Politics

Edited by John Peters and Don Wells

in University of Chicago Press Economics Books from University of Chicago Press

Abstract: A comprehensive textbook on Canadian labor policy and its effects. A thorough and accessible undergraduate textbook, Canadian Labour Policy and Politics is an essential guide to the politics of inequality in Canada’s job market. Contributors trace the rise of austerity, reveal its resulting inequalities, and propose solutions for a sustainable future. Leading experts describe how public policy—supposedly intended to protect workers—often leaves employees vulnerable with little economic or social security. Based on the latest research, the book examines case studies of how globalization, labor laws, COVID-19, and other challenges affect workers on and off the job. Key features include chapter summaries and outlines, suggestions for further reading, and glossaries.
