Description
The global advance of the market economy exposes the American workforce to ever-greater competition from foreign product and labour markets. As a consequence, employers and employees in all forms of enterprise find themselves building new and complex relationships in order to maintain mutually acceptable levels of compensation, security, and trust. In order to describe the contours of current global realities in labor and employment, to discern salient trends, and to formulate alternatives for dealing with the most pressing implications for the American workforce, New York University's "Annual Conference on Labor" for 1999 focused on the subject of global competition. Now in its 52nd year, this conference has long been recognized as a major forum for bringing together legal practitioners, academics and researchers, government officials, representatives of companies and labour unions, and human resources specialists to explore solutions to problems in the American workplace.
