Summer Break to Finalize 'The Law of Work' Book

by David Doorey June 19, 2015
written by David Doorey June 19, 2015

Remarkably, I have had many people comment to me that they’ve noticed I’ve been blogging less over the past few months.  That is true.  It’s because any  free time I have is being spent finishing up my book The Law of Work, which should be out in the fall.  It’s a lot of work to write a book in addition to your full time job.
Next week I am off to the biggest labour law academic conference in the world, in Amsterdam, where I am presenting a paper on “Just Transitions Law”, where labour and environmental law converge around climate change issues.
So I am taking a formal blog break for the summer (as I usually do), except there are a couple of guest blogs in the works that will be posted.  Once the book is out,

The Law of Work: Coming Soon

The Law of Work: Coming Soon


all future blog posts will be linked back to the book by indicating what chapter of the book the blog post relates to.   This fall’s printing will include parts I to III of the text:

Part I:     Themes, Frameworks, and Perspectives on the Law of Work

Part II:    The Common Law Regime

Part III:   The Regulatory Regime

Part IV on Collective Bargaining Law will be rolled out next year.
Here is the Table of Contents.
I’m excited that the book has a number of chapters written by leaders in the fields, including some law professors and leading Canadian practitioners.
Note that the subject matter of the book extends beyond the typical labour and employment law text, by including chapters on “Broader Labour Market Regulation”.  These chapters analyze legal areas that are not directly targeting vulnerable workers, but that nevertheless regulate labour market activities in important ways, including:  immigration law, intellectual property law, privacy law, pension and bankruptcy law, and global trade law.
Thanks for reading and see you in the fall, with the new book, and a much more active blogging agenda.
Have a great summer, David

Contract Law folks:

Story: @KDTrey5 (Kevin Durant) demands 'fire coach Nash' or trade me! [Or else what? Durant will breach his own contract by not working? Unclear].

Could Nash argue tort of inducing breach of contract?

Could Nash/Nets argue tort of intimidation?

Discuss.

Shams Charania@ShamsCharania

In a meeting with Nets owner Joe Tsai, Kevin Durant reiterated his trade request and informed Tsai that Tsai needs to choose between Durant or the pairing of general manager Sean Marks and coach Steve Nash, sources say.

Interrupting the fashion report to invite people to a discussion I’m moderating tomorrow (8/9) at noon at #ASA2022 on the future of collective bargaining in the US, feat. @veenadubal, Bill Gould & @JLotesta. Should be great!

Looks great!

I took an international labor law course at LSE/Kings College taught by Keith Ewing, Brian Bercusson, Aileen McColgan, and Paul Davies.

Incredible course. And so important.

Excited to teach my new #internationallaborlaw course critically considering how labor rights are designed & enforced. The class balances decolonial theory w/ practical experiences. My syllabus (with names redacted) below. 1/
