Migrant Labour Law

This impressive work was one of the two winners of the 2015 Chris Holt Publishing Prize offered by The Federation Press. It concerns the issues surrounding labour policies and institutional safeguards in a world of an increasingly mobile society and economy. In particular, the work seeks to explore solutions to the fact that those policies and safeguards have failed to maintain pace with the changing world. As the author says in the preface, “The analysis aims at making the theoretical leap from a citizenship and border-based framework of industrial relations to a more holistic concept of borderless labour mobility that prioritises global interests.” Naturally, such a discussion necessitates a consideration of the labour markets, their accessibility and cross-border labour rights. The work contains many important predictions as to the future movement of labour forces and markets and how governments might deal with such issues. - Queensland Law Reporter - 28 October 2016 - [2016] 42 QLR
