This forward-thinking book focuses on current and future challenges facing employment law in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. Leading experts in the field discuss the need for legislative intervention in the three nations and examine differences in their judicial attitudes.

Chapters explore the need for stronger regulatory employment models to ensure the economic security and personal autonomy of workers. They also highlight the need for enhanced support and flexible working conditions, particularly for casual workers and those on the margins of the workforce. The book debates the ethics of surveillance technology and draws parallels between excessive control and psycho-social harm in the workplace. Reflecting on the global fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, it addresses the impact of shifting professional relationships on working conditions and contracts, which are predominantly dictated by employers.

An essential resource for students in employment law, human resources management and industrial relations, this book will also benefit government policy advisors and employers researching labour market regulations.
