Product description
The law governing discrimination in the context of employment has undergone significant change over the years. In this one-of-a-kind new work, Understanding Discrimination in Employment Law, the author examines the current state of the law from its inception to the present day and discusses those areas that remain unclear and in need of legislative attention.
A unique perspective
Understanding Discrimination in Employment Law offers a comprehensive overview of the application of the prohibition against discrimination in employment and points to problems with the present legal framework. It provides an account of the evolution of the law in this area, reviews the way in which other countries have dealt with common issues, and analyzes the unusual path taken by the Supreme Court of Canada in developing the current legal framework. It discusses the problems that have arisen from the lack of consensus about the goals that the prohibition against discrimination is seeking to further in employment and from the failure of legislatures to keep pace with the way in which the law has changed.
By outlining problematic areas in the present law, this unique text will serve as a critical reference for those seeking to understand the law and its implications for employers, employees and the public. Its discussion will provide policy advisors and legislative drafters with valuable background and insight to assist them in clarifying the goals of this important area of the law and ensuring that the legislation will further those goals in a coherent and consistent manner.

- Humans rights advocacy organizations who advise employees of their rights at work and seek to formulate appropriate advocacy strategies
