Michael Siegle: Differences in labor law between Germany and the USA, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This comprehensive comparison of labor law in Germany and the US highlights the significant differences between two legal systems and cultures that shape labor relations and the labor market. While German labor law is strongly characterized by employee rights, collective bargaining agreements and co-determination, the U. S. system offers more flexibility and less regulation through individual contracts and the "at-will employment" principle. This comparison illustrates how historical, social and economic developments have shaped the labor law systems down to the last detail. In addition, current challenges such as the gig economy, remote work, protection against discrimination and fair working conditions are addressed to underline the ongoing need to adapt legal frameworks to the dynamic labor markets of our time.
