Reviews

'... if you are involved in any way with matters pertaining to trades union and/or employment legislation, you'll find this book an enlightening read... The book certainly offers interesting perspectives on employee-employer relationships, often a fraught and politically divisive subject, which is why you should read it. The extensive footnoting, reams of references and the detailed index provide any number of avenues for further research.'- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister Magazine; 'Estlund and Wachter have assembled a feast on the economic analysis of issues in labor and employment law for scholars and policy-makers. The volume begins with foundational discussions of the economic analysis of the individual employment relationship and collective bargaining. It then progresses to discussions of the theoretical and empirical work on a wide range of important labor and employment law topics including: union organizing and employee choice, the impact of unions on firm and economic performance, the impact of unions on the enforcement of legal rights, just cause for dismissal, covenants not to compete and employment discrimination. Anyone who wants to study what economists have to say on these topics would do well to begin with this collection.'- Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt, Indiana University Bloomington School of Law, US
