| Abstract
|
:
|
This edited volume is the first of its kind providing an analysis of labour relations in the fast-food industry, which employs many millions of people worldwide. The book focuses on fast-food multinational corporations and their large national competitors in nine countries : the U.S., Canada, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. The authors use a common framework focusing less on work organization but more on the outcomes of employment practices for employees and their rights to trade union organization and interest representation. This kind of analysis also allows the authors to examine the extent to which multinational enterprises impose or adapt their employment practices to differing national industrial relations systems. --from back cover.
