Global Business Workforce Restructuring: Labour and Employment Law and Benefits. Issues raised by restructuring, mergers, sales, acq. and redundencies (International Bar Association Series Set) OverviewsDuring two decades of intensive economic globalisation, business firms in nearly every country have undergone mergers, acquisitions, sales, reductions in the workforce, plant closures, and other forms of restructuring. Many legal issues of critical importance to employers arise in the course of such transactions and activities.
This book offers clear comparative legal analysis of these issues, derived from the labour and employment law of 12 major trading jurisdictions: Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, England and Wales, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Mexico, Spain, Sweden and the United States.
The emphasis throughout is on answers to practical questions, such as the following:
Is a purchasing company required to hire some or all of the employees of a target business?Can the purchaser pick and choose which employees are transferred or hired?Is a purchaser required to assume a target company¿s collective bargaining agreement?What is the nature and timing of notices required of purchasers?Can an acquisition, closure, or reduction in force be delayed by a strike or other industrial action?
