"Honeyball and Bowers' Textbook on Labour Law" covers all the essential areas of employment and labour law. The text explores both the practical aspects of labour law and the theoretical issues, as well as considering future developments in this fast moving area of law. The history of employment law in its European and UK contexts is also discussed, making it the ideal resource for students studying law degrees and for those on business courses coming to the subject for the first time.
