Keith Hylton explores major philosophical approaches in the labor movement as well as the economic pressures that have impacted the growth of unions and the evolution of labor law. Hylton examines core issues including union organization, labor bargaining, labor law successorship, and the interaction between labor and antitrust laws. He questions whether the decline of unions will change employment and labor laws, and whether it is possible for the law to reverse or slow the decline in private sector union density. The central thesis of the book is that much of labor law doctrine is economically efficient, minimizing the costs of the bargaining relationship between the employer and the union.
The Economics of Labor Law is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of labor and employment law, and law and economics. Practitioners will also benefit from its detailed account of how economics can provide a more solid foundation for labor law doctrines.
Industry Reviews
'Professor Hylton has put together the most comprehensive and sophisticated economic analysis of American labor law to date. Although thoroughly wedded to the neoclassical model, Professor Hylton's insights are both interesting and useful and have to be accounted for in current policy debates. I would recommend this book to any policy-maker, academic or student with an interest in the larger economic implications of American labor law.' -- Kenneth G. Dau-Schmidt, Indiana University, US
