Lance A. Compa, Cornell University ILR School

Abstract

[Excerpt] This volume is the first of a set of comparative guides to labor law in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. These volumes will describe how each NAALC member country addresses the six Obligations of the NAALC with respect to each of the Labor Principles that the NAALC commits its signatories to promote. They provide a concise description, for each NAALC member country, of the particular laws, practices, and administrative procedures which relate to each NAALC obligation. In so doing, their aim is to promote greater understanding of the legal systems of each country by providing an accurate picture of how each works and by facilitating comparisons between them.
