Unequal

How America's Courts Undermine Discrimination Law

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Most Americans assume that that employees alleging workplace discrimination face the same legal system as other litigants. However, employment discrimination cases have fared increasingly poorly in the courts and have come to operate in a fundamentally different legal system than other claims. In Unequal, Sandra F. Sperino and Suja A. Thomas provide an authoritative account of how our legal system evolved into an institution that is inherently biasedagainst workers making rights claims.
