| Summary |
This edited collection is the culmination of a comparative project on 'Voices at Work', funded by the Leverhulme Trust 2010-2013. The book aims to shed light on the problematic concept of worker 'voice' by tracking its complex interactions with various forms of law. Contributors to the volume identify the scope for continuity of legal approaches to voice and the potential for change in a sample of industrialised English speaking common law countries, namely Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, and USA. |
