Summary
Details

An introduction to the concepts and principles that govern the world of work. Labour Law: An Introduction to the Law of Work Revised Edition is an introductory principles textbook explaining the world of work in Australia. It offers a concise, thematic discussion of the law governing the relationships under which people perform work in contemporary society.

Written specifically to suit one-semester subjects, this book aims to develop a critical understanding of labour law regulation in social and economic contexts. It takes the unique approach of explaining the broad themes underlying labour and employment law. Rather than focusing on the constantly changing technical details of labour law, it provides a solid conceptual framework you can take into practice and apply to future labour laws as they arise.

FeaturesA unique focus on the concepts and themes of labour law, rather than the technical and historical detail, promotes a broad understanding.

Abstracts at the start of each chapter aid learning by providing a summary of the key messages.

Case extracts and reading recommendations support further learning and development.

Discussion questions at the end of each chapter encourage critical reflection on the adequacy of labour laws, and proposals for reform.

New to this EditionCommentary on the Albanese Government’s reforms in the ‘Secure Jobs Better Pay’ and ‘Closing Loopholes’ legislation.

Critical discussion of major new High Court cases (including Personnel Contracting, Jamsek, Kozarov, and the Elisha v Vision Australia decision).

Updates on the general protections cases, including TWU v Qantas.

More discussion of digital platform-enabled forms of work.
