Employment and Employee Rights addresses the issue of rightsin the workplace. Although much of the literature in this fieldfocuses on employee rights, this volume considers the issue fromthe perspective of both employees and employers.
* * Considers the rights of both employees and employers.
* Discusses the moral and legal landscape and traditionalassumptions about right in employment.
* Investigates arguments for guaranteeing rights, particularlyfor employees, which are derived from relational, developmental,and economic bases.
* Explores new dimensions of employment including a model thatincorporates growing workplace diversity, builds upon ourunderstanding of the legal landscape, and expands upon ourjustifications for recognizing and protecting rights.
