Among the most compelling yet controversial forms of legal protection for workers is the right to refuse unsafe work. The rise of globalization, precarious work, neoliberal politics, attacks on unions, and the idea of individual employment rights have challenged the protection of occupational health and safety for workers worldwide. In Hazard or Hardship, Jeffrey Hilgert presents the protection of refusal rights as a moral and a human rights question. Hilgert finds that the protection of the right to refuse unsafe work, as constituted under international labor standards, is a failure and calls for a reexamination of worker health and safety policy from the ground up. The current model of protection follows an individual employment rights framework, which fails to protect workers against the inherent social inequalities within the employment relationship. To adequately protect the right to refuse as a human right, both in North America and around the world, Hilgert argues that a broader protection must be granted under a freedom of association framework. Hazard or Hardship will be a welcome resource for labor and environmental activists, trade union leaders, labor lawyers and labor law scholars, industrial relations experts, human rights advocates, public health professionals, and specialists in occupational safety and health. 606 $aLabor laws and legislation 606 $aEmployee rights 606 $aIndustrial safety$xLaw and legislation 615 0$aLabor laws and legislation. 615 0$aEmployee rights. 615 0$aIndustrial safety$xLaw and legislation. 676 $a342/.0684 700 $aHilgert$b Jeffrey$f1974-$0870032 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996475760903316 996 $aHazard or hardship$91942436 997 $aUNISA
