The 68th Edition is the culmination of efforts by top government officials and leading attorneys in the fields of labor and employment law who participated and presented papers and law essays at New York University Law School's Annual Conference on Labor on June 5-6, 2015.
Who is an Employee and Who is the Employer? -- this question has always been crucial to the understanding of labor and employment law. However, new dynamics in the global economy, business relationships, agency enforcement initiatives, and high-profile litigation have created intense debates. This volume includes 29 chapters which are arranged in nine parts. Parts One to Four explore the meaning of "employee" in different contexts. Parts Five to Seven discuss the scope of a business's legal responsibilities to workers who contribute labor to its products and/or services. Part Eight provides an international viewpoint. Part Nine addresses the scope of the employment relationship as it intersects with new forms of worker organizing.
