This textbook presents a comprehensive treatment of all of the major labor and
employment topics of our time. It contains more materials than would ordinarily
be covered in a one-semester course. The intent is for instructors to select the
topics and materials that best fulfill their course objectives and the current needs
of their students in the ever-changing business and political environment. The
What’s New and Why segment (see page xvi) details the broad range of new and
developing topics contained in this edition.
