This book aims to revitalise the link between social justice and labour law through exploring the issue of personhood and the 'subject' of the law.
Rodgers argues that incorporating a more 'relational' notion of self into labour law not only provides a fresh normative perspective through which to evaluate existing labour laws, but will also make us more able to respond to labour market 'shocks' and labour market change into the future, including the introduction of AI.
It is only by embedding relationality into our law that can we really respect the humanity of workers and construct a legal framework through which social justice can be achieved at work.
“Lisa Rodgers offers a bold and original vision for the pursuit of social justice through labour law. This is an exciting book, drawing on our understandings of personhood, while offering scope for reflection on how we might approach present and future challenges.” Tonia Novitz, University of Bristol
