Series: Law in Context

Labour Law, now in its third edition, is a well established text which offers a comprehensive and critical account of the subject by a team of leading labour lawyers. It examines both collective labour relations and individual employment rights, including equality law, and does so while having full regard to the international labour standards as well as the implications of Brexit. Case studies and reports from government and other public agencies illuminate the text to show how the law works in practice, ensuring that students acquire not only a sophisticated knowledge of the law but also an appreciation of its purpose and the complexity of the issues which it addresses.

Reviews for Labour Law

'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
