ABSTRACT
The domain of workplace law has expanded in the United States, from traditional labor and employment law to contracts, to consumer protection and even family law. Even so, American labor lawyers maintain that the statutes protecting workers are crumbling after almost a century without supportive reform. This Essay proposes that labor law practitioners and scholars embrace comparative methods to navigate the changing landscape of workplace law and culture. Because the terms and conditions of employment – like laws – are rarely solely comprised of written words, labor lawyers must become critical comparatists in order to effectively secure the rights of workers in a neoliberal economy.
