The analysis follows both a chronological and thematic arrangement, beginning with the importance of management practices, the growth of labor organizations and the impact of collective bargaining on employment institutions, and the subsequent rise of individual employment rights enforced through administrative and judicial means. Through its evolutionary approach, the book explains the fragmented, overlapping, and conceptually confusing regulatory environment governing workplace relations. It offers an integrated approach to such important contemporary policy issues as health care coverage, pensions, and effective dispute procedures. The book provides an analytical framework for an understanding of the unique nature of our labor markets and the role of government, employers, and unions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides students with the historical background they need to understand how the U.S. system developed and how it differs from systems in other industrialized nations \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses individual employment rights, including protection from discrimination \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCovers current policy issues in employment, including raising the minimum wage, the growth of a contingent workforce, and privatizing retirement \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a unique historical and evolutionary explanation of the nature of employment relations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAs a general overview of contemporary employment relations, \u003cstrong\u003eEmployment Relations in the United States\u003c\/strong\u003e is a perfect supplement to college courses in employment law, human resource management, and collective bargaining.
