This section presents several abstracts on industrial relations issues. The problem of illegal child labor continues to haunt the modern economy. It persists within the U.S., and some indicators suggest that the problem is growing. Child laborers are found in all sectors of employment, including textiles, jewelry, and machine shops in the Northeast and farm labor and supermarket food processing in the Southeast and West. On the other hand, with the increasing globalization of tourism and the systems to make tourism profitable, conditions for employees are now influenced not only by the local job market and economy but also by decisions that may be made far away from their locale. Raymond F. Gregory, a lawyer specializing in employment and discrimination law, explores the pervasive realities of sexual harassment, which can be both covert and overt. He provides guidance for female victims of this behavior and also addresses the issues facing those who have experienced same-sex harassment. He analyzes sexual harassment from the perspective of existing federal law and outlines the rights of victims, both the injunctive rights of restraining orders and monetary relief. The Welfare for the Unemployed in Britain and Germany book evaluates the question of whether unemployment benefits should be insurance-based or means-tested. The analysis is based on a comparison of the impact of the British and German benefit systems in the 1990s.
