Work On Trial: Canadian Labour Law Struggles, Judy Fudge, Eric Tucker
Eric M. Tucker
Work on Trial is a collection of studies of eleven major cases and events that have helped to shape the legal landscape of work in Canada. While most of the cases are well-known because of the impact they have had on collective bargaining, individual employment law, or human rights, less is known about the social and political contexts in which the cases arose, the backgrounds and personalities of the judges and the litigants, the legal manoeuvres that were employed, or the ultimate fate of all those who were involved.

Using this layer of vulnerability framework, we compare the situation of at-risk migrant workers in Canada and the United Kingdom.
