Reviews
David Renton's new book is very approachable and readable. It opens up employment law to students and employees alike. -- Linda Clarke, Professor of European Industrial Relations, University of Westminster
'Essential reading for its empirically grounded and dispassionate analysis of what has gone wrong and how it might be put right.' -- Simon Deakin, Professor of Law at the University of Cambridge 'With this excellent step-by-step explanation of how the system works in reality, David Renton explains why it so rarely does. Blacklisted workers have experienced the process firsthand and know this book is true.' -- Dave Smith, Blacklist Support Group 'Approachable and readable. It opens up employment law to students and employees alike.' -- Linda Clarke, Professor of European Industrial Relations, University of Westminster
'How can employers and the government argue that employment rights are a burden on business at the same time as so many workplace injustices go unremedied? In the context of a debate over employment law reform that is in danger of being overwhelmed by rhetoric and misinformation, this book will be essential reading for its empirically grounded and dispassionate analysis of what has gone wrong and how it might be put right.' -- Simon Deakin, Professor of Law at the University of Cambridge. 'Employment law in this country isn't written for working people' - I've lost count of how many times I've heard that at union meetings. But when you're the person victimised at work, then we all hope Employment Tribunals will deliver us justice. With this excellent step-by-step explanation of how the system works in reality, David Renton explains why it so rarely does. Blacklisted workers have experienced the process first-hand and know this book is true. -- Dave Smith, Blacklist Support Group David Renton's new book is very approachable and readable. It opens up employment law to students and employees alike. -- Linda Clarke, Professor of European Industrial Relations, University of Westminster
