Course Description:
The law plays a major role in shaping almost every aspect of work, from the workers basic duties on the job, through their right to organize, to how and when unions are allowed to bargain and go on strike. But how does the law frame these workplace issues? What interests - the workers, the employers, the public - does the law try to balance, and which side does it favour?
Required Qualifications:
A PhD or ABD is preferred, although applicants with an MA and teaching experience (either in post-secondary institutions or in the labour movement) will be considered. Applicants should have an interdisciplinary approach to labour issues.
All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply. However, those legally able to work in Canada and at McMaster University will be given priority.

Accordingly, the University especially encourages applications from women, members of visible minorities, Aboriginal persons, members of sexual minorities, and persons with disabilities
