'The third edition of Collins, Ewing and McColgan's Labour Law is a thought-provoking text for researchers and students alike. The book offers coverage of swathes of the UK's regulation of work whilst also invoking the incise critique and thematic commentary that we expect from the text's eminent authors. This most recent edition draws out the implications of human rights doctrines for labour law in more depth and considers UK courts' shifting approach to questions of employment status.' Philippa Collins, Senior Lecturer in Law and Director of the Centre of Law at Work, University of Bristol 'Perfectly pitched for undergraduate and master's students, this textbook clearly explains the legal rules and assesses them against public policy priorities and human rights and equality norms.' Ruth Dukes, Professor of Labour Law, University of Glasgow 'The latest edition of this work maintains the high standards displayed by its predecessors in terms of comprehensive coverage and depth of analysis. A broad view of the scope of labour law is taken and an invaluable learning resource is provided.' Douglas Brodie, Professor of Employment Law, University of Strathclyde
