Implications of Britain's 1999 Employment Relations Act
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing this new law that rigidly restricts an employer's ability to discipline employees, and how it affects employers, trade unions and employees before examining the same in the US. The paper concludes that highly liberal labor policies superficially appear to be for the good of the employee, but ultimately the employer must be able to control his own business or lose it. Today's hyper-competitive business environment requires that everyone pull in the same direction; it appears that well-meaning legislators have managed to pass a law that will be detrimental to the larger economy and ultimately to those workers they only sought to protect.
