Program in Comparative Labor and Employment Law Policy

Twenty-first century enterprise is generating ever changing methods of producing goods and services and is deploying them throughout the developed and developing world. These internationally portable systems can create social and economic problems, just as the innovative factory system did in the nineteenth century. In the past, the nations of Europe, North America, and the Pacific rim looked to one another's experiences for guidance in fashioning a legal response. As in the past, it continues to make sense today to see what various legal approaches have been taken to deal with this new generation of workplace issues, such as the loss of privacy enabled by information technology, the shifting of greater risk on to the employee, and the loss of voice resulting from the decline in traditional union representation. The Program in Comparative Labor and Employment Law Policy has four basic components, instruction, research, the stimulation and sharing of thought, and the dissemination of the fruits of outstanding scholarship and is home to the Comparative Labor Law & Policy Journal.
