Book Synopsis

Specialists in employment law or human resources management, all but one from the University of Leicester, offer advice to people grappling with the British Acquired Rights Directive and its 1998 amendment. They are primarily concerned with the degree to which employers in an operation that has been transformed from a public service to a private company are allowed to alter the terms and conditions of employment. Many of the 10 studies began as dissertations for the masters program at Leicester. There is no index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
