Inscribing Solidarity

'Solidarity lies at the very heart of employment law. This brilliant volume makes a powerful case for ensuring that it remains inscribed at the very heart of the discipline as we face labor market challenges from sustainability to global pandemics.' Jeremias Adams-Prassl, Professor of Law, Oxford University, Author of Humans as a Service: The Promise and Perils of Work in the Gig Economy 'This volume entails a thought-provoking analysis of the notion of solidarity, and makes an important contribution to the timely comparative discourse on the future of labour law, and its challenges and potential. A group of distinguished scholars examine solidarity from a number of key perspectives, including sustainability, migration, and the Covid-19 pandemic.' Mia Roennmar, Professor, Faculty of Law, Lund University, Sweden, and Past-President of ILERA (the International Labour and Employment Relations Association) 'This book addresses one of the most pressing issues of our times. Until now, progressive politics has been built upon a shared sense of interest, cohesion, and mutual dependency amongst working and marginalized members of the population. Recently, business practices and neoliberal policies have individualized the work experience and hence undermined solidarity. These essays provide an in-depth examination of solidarity in the current context, and present an invaluable set of prescriptions for reclaiming and sustaining solidarity in today's world.'
