Labour Constitution - The Enduring Idea of Labour Law

Zusatztext Ruth Dukes gifts us an ambitious scholarly accomplishment that conveys a compelling message. In its origins, labour law was committed to achieving egalitarian redistribution, democratizing economic life, and ending domination and subordination in work. Recently, it has forsaken these enduring aspirations. We should recover and modernize them, and re-orient our work in their light.
