Of interest to anyone who wishes to understand more about employee rights and the revolutionizing of employment models, Employment and Employee Rights addresses the issue of rights in the workplace from the perspective of both employees and employers.In the process of exploring arguments for guaranteeing rights, the book examines the relational, developmental, and economic bases upon which they are founded. New dimensions of employment are also considered, including a model that incorporates growing workplace diversity, builds upon our understanding of the legal landscape, and expands upon our justifications for recognizing and protecting rights. Employment and Employee Rights defends employee rights as economic value added for employers and companies, and it suggests a model where employees engage in meaningful work, maintain their autonomy, and exercise a level of control over their employment.

\ From the Publisher"The authors challenge us to re-examine our understandings of employment. They bring a broad historical awareness to their distinctive theoretical reflections on topics such as due process, job insecurity, meaningful work, and the changing nature of employment. Readers with a practical bent should be convinced by their analysis of progressive employment practices as ‘economic value added.’ For the more philosophically inclined, they provide, at the outset, a clear and thoughtful analysis of the foundations of moral rights – an unusual element in texts on business ethics." John McCall, Saint Joseph's University\ "This is the latest and last word on employee rights. It’s everything you wanted to know about employee rights, and it’s a very practical, hands-on, business-oriented book. Every manager will benefit from reading it. Every human resources manager simply must read it." R. Edward Freeman, University of Virginia\ \ \
