The Law of Work is a re-conceptualisation of the subject matter of the Australian law of workplace relations according to its fundamental principles. By identifying its subject matter as the 'law of work' it signals its concerns as broader than those encompassed in the traditional conception of labour and industrial relations law. The book reflects the authors' conviction that social and economic context is of critical importance to an understanding of the law.
