ONU law professor co-edits labor law book

The book argues that American labor law should be reconsidered and reformed

Cambridge University Press has announced that it will publish "The Cambridge Handbook of U.S. Labor Law: Reviving American Labor for a 21st Century Economy."

The book will be co-edited by Richard Bales, professor of law at Ohio Northern University Pettit College of Law, and Charlotte Garden, professor of law at Seattle University School of Law, with an expected publication date of fall 2018.

More than 40 leading labor law scholars from throughout the United States will contribute.

The book argues that American labor law should be reconsidered and reformed, in ways both incremental and radical, but in all cases with the overall goal of protecting workers even as the economy and the nature of work are changing rapidly.
