Gender Sex Agency And Discrimination: A Reply To Professor Abrams, Katherine M. Franke
Faculty Scholarship
According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, sexual harassment is the fastest-growing area of employment discrimination. In fact, the annual number of sexual harassment complaints filed with the EEOC has more than doubled in the last six years. No one, or at least no one who has given this problem her serious attention, can deny that workplace sexual harassment is a grave problem and that it significantly impedes women's entrance into many sectors of the wage labor market.
Notwithstanding these impressive numbers, sexual harassment legal doctrine remains remarkably undertheorized – particularly by the Supreme Court. For these and other reasons, …

Global Labor Rights And The Alien Tort Claims Act, Sarah H. Cleveland
Faculty Scholarship
Are labor rights human rights? Are some worker rights so fundamental that must be respected by all nations, and all corporations, under all circumstances?

These are some of the questions confronted by the authors of Human Rights, Labor Rights, and International Trade, a compilation of essays by an international group of scholars, labor rights activists, and corporate executives addressing contemporary topics in the dialectic among labor, trade, and human rights.
