The Transformation Of The Professional Workforce, Marion Crain Jun 2004

The Transformation Of The Professional Workforce, Marion Crain

Chicago-Kent Law Review

For professionals, work is not a commodity to be sold on the market, but a calling that constitutes personal identity while simultaneously conferring a relatively privileged class status.

Labor And Employment Law In Two Transitional Decades, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Articles

Labor law became labor and employment law during the past several decades. The connotation of "labor law" is the regulation of union-management relations and that was the focus from the 1930s through the 1950s. In turn, voluntary collective bargaining was supposed to be the method best suited for setting the terms and conditions of employment for the nation's work force.
