Written by Co-Authors Carla-Anne Harris-Roper and Dr. Natalie Corthèsy, this book continues the tradition of insightful legal tomes in the Commonwealth Caribbean Law series published by Routledge. It is the only textbook of its kind, providing an up-to-date resource covering a wide-range of employment and labour law issues which affect the Commonwealth Caribbean.

The book undertakes a comparative analysis of employment and labour law in Jamaica, Trinidad and Barbados, as a major starting reference point for distinguishing the laws of other Commonwealth Caribbean jurisdictions such as Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia and Guyana among others.

The book also explores how the law operates within the legal systems of the Caribbean, taking into account the umbilical link to British jurisprudence and the persuasive precedent of other Commonwealth jurisdictions, and the impact this has had on the growth and development of this area of the legal landscape.

Commonwealth Caribbean Employment and Labour Law is now essential reading for students enrolled on Employment Law, Discrimination and Dismissal Law courses in the Caribbean.

Since its publication in 2014, the book has also become a staple resource for Trade Unionists, Human Resource Practitioners, Industrial Relations Professionals and Attorneys. It has also been consulted by the judiciary across the region and referred to in the following judgments:
