The Law in Context Series

Editors: William Twining (University College London),

Christopher McCrudden (Lincoln College, Oxford) and

Bronwen Morgan (University of Bristol).

Since 1970 the Law in Context series has been in the forefront of the movement to

broaden the study of law. It has been a vehicle for the publication of innovative scholarly

books that treat law and legal phenomena critically in their social, political and economic

contexts from a variety of perspectives. The series particularly aims to publish scholarly

legal writing that brings fresh perspectives to bear on new and existing areas of law

taught in universities. A contextual approach involves treating legal subjects broadly,

using materials from other social sciences, and from any other discipline that helps to

explain the operation in practice of the subject under discussion. It is hoped that this

orientation is at once more stimulating and more realistic than the bare exposition

of legal rules. The series includes original books that have a different emphasis from

traditional legal textbooks, while maintaining the same high standards of scholarship.

They are written primarily for undergraduate and graduate students of law and of other

disciplines, but also appeal to a wider readership. In the past, most books in the series

have focused on English law, but recent publications include books on European law,

globalisation, transnational legal processes, and comparative law.

Preface

This textbook aims to provide a comprehensive study guide for students inlabour law or employment law courses. It is divided into twenty chapters,corresponding approximately to a full-year university course. It includes botha comprehensive discussion of collective labour law issues as well as individualemployment law disputes. For shorter or more focused courses, teachers mayprefer to concentrate on some of the chapters or parts of the book and will findthat each chapter is largely self-contained. As well as providing a descriptionand analysis of the law, in the spirit of the Law in Context series, the textbookoffers criticisms of the law drawn from different perspectives and disciplines.Most chapters also include brief vignettes, often based on examples drawn fromthe news, which should provide a stimulus to classroom discussion.

Although the authors have written an earlier book on labour law together,this text is completely restructured and almost entirely new. Responsibility forthe different chapters has been divided unevenly: Collins: Chapters 1, 3–7, 10,11 and 18–20; Ewing: Chapters 2, 8 and 12–17; and McColgan: Chapter 9.

We are grateful to the editors of this series and the publishers at CambridgeUniversity Press, especially Sinead Moloney, for their encouragement for writingthe book and their patience in awaiting its delivery.

In the course of preparing this text, the authors have incurred a number ofdebts. We would like to acknowledge in particular the advice of Steve Acheson(Blacklist Support Group), Daniel Blackburn (ICTUR), Alan Bogg (Oxford),Nicola Countouris (UCL), Ruth Dukes (Glasgow), Kate Ewing (Unison),Jonathan Hayward (Unite), John Hendy QC, Brian Higgins (Blacklist Sup-port Group), Carolyn Jones (Institute of Employment Rights), VirginiaMantouvalou (UCL), Jim Mowatt (Unite), Mick O’Sullivan (Unite), ToniaNovitz (Bristol), Hannah Reed (TUC) and Dave Smith (Blacklist SupportGroup). We are also pleased to acknowledge the pioneering work of RosemaryOwens (Adelaide), Joellen Riley (Sydney) and Jill Murray (La Trobe) who appre-ciated the importance of globalisation for books of this kind before we did.

We have endeavoured to state the law up to 1 January 2012.
