The Law of Work Book is DONE!

by David Doorey April 10, 2017
written by David Doorey April 10, 2017

Some of you know I have been writing a book for the past couple of years called The Law of Work.  It is now done!  Here is the book’s website.

Law of Work: Complete Editions

Law of Work: Complete Editions


It is a book in four parts totalling nearly 800 pages.   To align with typical university and college level courses in Employment Law (Common Law and Employment Regulation) and Industrial Relations/Labour Law (Collective Bargaining), the publisher has released the book in two separate volumes, as well as in its complete (all four parts) format.
I know, a little confusing.   So here’s an overview of the book and the options available, including the contents.
All three versions include Part 1 of the book, because these four chapters apply to all three regimes of work law.  Volume 1 (Common Law and Regulatory Standards) includes Parts 1, 2 and 3.   Volume 2 (Industrial Relations and Collective Bargaining) includes Parts 1 and IV.   You can also order custom books that bundle together chapters from various parts.  Also, the book is available in electronic form, for your iPad or reader, which is cool because the e-book includes links to cases, media, and this blog throughout.
As you can tell by the following Table of Contents, the book is quite broad in coverage.  However, I tried to make chapters short and clearly written, with as little legal jargon as possible.   Here’s the outline.  Would like to know what you think, for those of you who get around to looking at the book.

@SCLSclinic and I were so fortunate to represent this client last year. I am thrilled that this decision brings more clarity for family status accommodations rights amidst a pandemic that has tested parents, caregivers, and families like never before. https://twitter.com/CanLawWorkForum/status/1364605259071561730

New from @RSandill (counsel for applicant), discussing important new "family status" discrimination decision from OHRT:

Here's my latest in @jacobinmag.

If Ontario's labor laws applied in Alabama, the Amazon vote would have been held months ago so workers could get back to their jobs. Instead, the NLRA permits Amazon to conduct a months' long onslaught of anti-union propaganda. https://twitter.com/jacobinmag/status/1364613560425275392

Jacobin@jacobinmag

Amazon workers in Alabama are voting on whether to unionize, but the company is bombarding them with anti-union propaganda. In Canada, by contrast, votes are held quickly, making it harder for companies to stack the deck — a model that can work in the US. http://jacobinmag.com/2021/02/amazon-alabama-canada-labor-law-union-vote
