"""Harry Glasbeek masterfully unmasks the hidden assumptions that inform the law at work, revealing law's role in justifying and operationalizing employer superiority. Law at Work is driven by a passionate demand for human emancipation and a rigorous demonstration of why that is not possible under capitalism. Even if you think you understand labour law, you don't until you've read this book."" - Eric Tucker, professor emeritus, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University ""Harry Glasbeek reveals how the legal system--meant to protect--paradoxically reinforces the exploitation of workers. Law at Work is a compelling read that challenges us to reconsider the emancipatory potential of the law for workers and their unions."" - Larry Savage, chair, Department of Labour Studies, Brock University ""Harry Glasbeek is a passionate public intellectual, deeply committed to sharing all that he knows. And he knows a lot--especially about the class bias buried deep within our labour laws. Glasbeek's insights in Law at Work match everything I've experienced over decades of union work. He's also an utterly readable writer, using wit and understatements that make you laugh out loud, even as you shudder."" - Laurell Ritchie, retired national representative, Unifor"
