Privatization of wrongful dismissal protection in comparative perspective

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The US Supreme Court has allowed employers to sweep employee claims of violation of most labour protective law into arbitration systems that employers unilaterally establish. The law would not allow employers in the UK, France or Germany to do so. This essay explores how and why that is so in each of these countries. It explains the US exceptionalism by reference to public choice theory, ie, by resort to the economics of judicial shirking.
