Prof. Marc D. Greenbaum,
3 credits day; 3 credits evening. Professor Greenbaum: This course examines the various means
by which the law governs and regulates the individual employment relationship. Most notably, it
focuses upon developing employee rights under contract and tort law, as well as under various
employment regulation statutes, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act and the various statutes
prohibiting class based employment discrimination. Classroom discussion is the primary
teaching methodology. The course grade is based upon a final examination.
Employment law consists of three closely related legal frameworks: the common law of
employment, collective bargaining, and direct statutory regulation of particular aspects of the
employer-employee relationship. This course provides an overview of this tripartite structure and
the fundamental issues with which it is concerned, such as the balancing of individual rights and
managerial rights, productivity and job security; protection against unequal or unfair treatment;
and the imposition of minimum standards regarding compensation and working conditions.
