Arlington, Va. (June 18, 2009) – The new Third Edition of International Labor and Employment Laws, Volume I includes significant new developments in the laws of the world’s major economies. It is published by BNA Books, a division of BNA, in cooperation with the International Labor and Employment Law Committee of the American Bar Association’s Section of Labor and Employment Law.

The expansion of international trade, investment, and business operations to a worldwide arena has brought considerable changes in the labor and employment laws in place in many countries. Now the expanded and updated International Labor and Employment Laws, Volume I, Third Edition prepares you with the most useful information about the relevant requirements of the world’s major economies.

Written by eminent practitioners in the Section’s International Labor and Employment Law Committee, this invaluable treatise examines the following issues for each jurisdiction included: individual employment; collective bargaining; representation by entities other than unions; redundancy and transfers of undertakings; wages, hours, and leave; antidiscrimination; occupational safety and health and workers’ compensation; pensions and benefits; and immigration.        

The Third Edition of International Labor and Employment Laws, Volume I covers developments through 2007, with updates into 2008. Because of expansive updates and added information, the Third Edition of Volume I is now in two volumes—Volume IA and Volume IB (sold only as a set). This set of Volume I contains the same chapters that were in the Second Edition—chapters on the major economies around the world—plus new chapters providing analysis of specific topics of interest to international labor and employment law practitioners, including chapters on Litigation of International Employment Disputes, Compensating the Internationally Mobile Executive, and Negotiating and Drafting Expatriate Employment Agreements.
