Description: "The declining power of trade unions in developed market economies is a well-recognized trend. The purpose of this book is to assess the usefulness of international human rights law as a means of slowing or reversing this trend. The author's conclusion, based on three well-researched and carefully analyzed case studies, is that the invocation by trade unions of the limited enforcement mechanisms available to them under international human rights instruments can materially assist their efforts to protect the rights recognized in those instruments, but this strategy is likely to succeed only when domestic political considerations outside the unions' control put pressure on a government to comply with the obligations in question."
