Employment and Employee Rights cover

Employment and Employee Rights addresses the issue of rights in the workplace.

Although much of the literature in this field focuses on employee rights, this volume considers the issue from the perspective of both employees and employers.

  • Considers the rights of both employees and employers.
  • Discusses the moral and legal landscape and traditional assumptions about right in employment.
  • Investigates arguments for guaranteeing rights, particularly for employees, which are derived from relational, developmental, and economic bases.
  • Explores new dimensions of employment including a model that incorporates growing workplace diversity, builds upon our understanding of the legal landscape, and expands upon our justifications for recognizing and protecting rights.

"The authors challenge us to re-examine our understandings of employment. They bring a broad historical awareness to their distinctive theoretical reflections on topics such as due process, job insecurity, meaningful work, and the changing nature of employment. Readers with a practical bent should be convinced by their analysis of progressive employment practices as ‘economic value added.’ For the more philosophically inclined, they provide, at the outset, a clear and thoughtful analysis of the foundations of moral rights – an unusual element in texts on business ethics." John McCall, Saint Joseph's University


"This is the latest and last word on employee rights. It’s everything you wanted to know about employee rights, and it’s a very practical, hands-on, business-oriented book. Every manager will benefit from reading it. Every human resources manager simply must read it." R. Edward Freeman, University of Virginia
