The End is Near: A First Look at the Final Part of The Law of Work Book

by David Doorey November 7, 2016
written by David Doorey November 7, 2016

I have been blogging at a much slower pace than normal this term, because I am focusing my spare time on finishing the final part of my quadrilogy called The Law of Work.  The final part

Law of Work: Parts I to III are out now

Law of Work: Parts I to III are out now


covers The Collective Bargaining Regime.   Once the complete book is out, this blog will back with a  vengeance and will interact directly with the book, with each new entry linking to material covered in the book.
By way of review, the four-part Law of Work book introduces a new type of law text that is intended to be legally sophisticated but also written in accessible language free of unnecessary legal jargon.  The book does not follow the usual dichotomy of legal texts in the field.  That dichotomy distinguishes between:

Labour Law and Industrial Relations:  laws and policies governing the process of unionization and collective bargaining in unionized workplaces, and

Employment Law:   laws and policies governing non-union workplaces, including the common law of the employment contract and employment regulation.

The Law of Work covers all three regimes (Common Law, Regulatory Law, and Collective Bargaining Law) in one book, and explains how the regimes all interact and influence one another to create a vast and complex legal regime governing the work relationship in Canada.

The Law of Work:  Part IV Coming Soon

The Law of Work: Part IV Coming Soon


The publisher released Parts I to III last year, and it is already in use in universities and colleges across the country, including in law schools, as well as in business, governance, industrial relations, and human resource management schools and graduate schools.  See what students and academics are saying about the book so far!
In 2017, the final Collective Bargaining part will be rolled out.  It will also be accompanied by a collective bargaining and labour arbitration simulation, and (this part is still a secret) a new video of a mock arbitration for use in classrooms.
The publisher intends to offer both the full book (all four parts), or two separate books divided roughly as follows:
Option One, for use Primarily in courses focusing on non-union Employment Law:   Parts I, II, and III
Option Two, for use primarily in courses focusing on Industrial Relations and Collective Labour Law:  Parts I and IV
It will also be possible for university and college instructors to order their own version of the book that combines chapters from various parts.

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.

Desiree LeClercq@LeclercqDesiree

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/

Remembering time I spoke at @SteelworkersCA conference. I joined International President Leo Gerard on an elevated platform stage.

Back leg of chair was off back of stage. Sat down and fell backyards off stage until Leo caught me, pulled me back up, muttering “fucking lawyers”

Yes I’m sure they would like to repeal human rights legislation but enact a new Freedom Protection Act that protects ‘rights’ they want, like anti-vaxer rights.

Sean O'Donnell@SJOLegal

@TheLawofWork Given that the Ford Government has stymied the HRTO for years, I don't think this crowd will see any joy through that avenue.
