The book posits that soft law techniques such as codes of conduct are more effective in protecting workers than "hard law" i.e. domestic regulation. It starts by analysing the transnational regulation of corporations and codes of conduct, and then puts forward a model code of conduct that can be used by corporations to help increase the protection of workers. Through this model's use of a monitoring scheme, shareholders, activists, and NGOs put pressure on the corporation to reform itself and enact a code which has obligations flowing both ways between the corporation and its employees. The book then looks at the expansions of fiduciary duties and changes to corporate governance, including Benefit Corporations and how they can be used to increase the rights of workers. It then discusses changes to standard union contracts before concluding with an assessment of the best way forward for workers' rights. By providing a new contribution to the current dialogue on corporate social responsibility and codes of conduct, this book will be a valuable resource for academics working on labour, employment, and business law as well as corporate lawyers. 410 0$aRoutledge research in corporate law. 606 $aLabor laws and legislation 606 $aSocial responsibility of business$xLaw and legislation 606 $aCorporate governance$xLaw and legislation 606 $aLabor laws and legislation$zCanada 606 $aSocial responsibility of business$xLaw and legislation$zCanada 606 $aCorporate governance$xLaw and legislation$zCanada 615 0$aLabor laws and legislation. 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aCorporate governance$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aLabor laws and legislation 615 0$aSocial responsibility of business$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aCorporate governance$xLaw and legislation 676 $a344.01 700 $aSukdeo$b Vanisha H.$f1981-$01712413 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826323703321 996 $aCorporate law, codes of conduct and workers' rights$94104523 997 $aUNINA
