<p><em>Labour and Employment Law in the Federal Public Service</em>, 2e describes the labour and employment law governing employees in the federal public administration, employees of Parliament, members of the RCMP, and other federal government employees (excluding members of the Canadian armed forces, judges, and employees of Crown corporations). Specifically, the book deals with the <em>Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act</em> and the <em>Public Service Employment Act</em>, along with statutes specific to certain categories of government employees. It also discusses the leading cases and, where appropriate, a representative sample of decisions to explain or provide examples of particular points.</p>
