Synopsis

Pay equity and deregulation aims clash. In this context, economists, sociologists, lawyers, industrial relations experts, and trade unionists from the UK, North America, and New Zealand provide international perspectives on labor market inequalities; patterns of race, migration, and employment; equal pay law; and the strategic use of pay equity legislation. The 18 contributors (all but two women) review the effects of globalization and neoliberal economic policies on gender equality on the three continents with case studies involving US public sector reforms, an indirect discrimination case (UK), and UNISON, the UK's largest trade union.
