Justice on the Job: Perspectives on the Erosion of Collective Bargaining in the United States

The 13 papers presented by the editors (of Michigan State U. and the American Federation of Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations) examine the state of American workers' rights to form unions and bargain collectively, generally arguing that legal protection for workers' rights fall short of that required by international law and that this situation adversely affects the well-being of society as a whole. Opening papers unfavorably compare American and European workers' rights, criticize the National Labor Relations Board representation election process as undemocratic, and discuss the relative inability of public sector workers to bargain collectively. Others discuss the community effects of this situation, consider legal obstacles to workers rights, place American workers' rights in the context of international human rights standards, and consider means of advancing workers' rights legislatively and union organizing.
