Labour Law and Industrial Relations Resources
Resourceshelf recently highlighted workplace-related resources from the Cornell School of Industrial and Labor Relations. Known as the IWS [Institute for Workplace Studies] Documented News Service, Resourceshelf explains that it provides links to the full-text documentation of government studies, reports, and statistics in "real time". Coverage of the industrial/labour relations scene is international in scope.
Other related material mentioned recently on Resourceshelf: the Working Time Database from the International Labour Organization. It is "a searchable database providing information on the working time laws of more than 100 countries around the world. It covers laws that protect the heath and well-being of workers; facilitate a balance between work and family life; ensure workers have adequate time to devote to their other responsibilities and interests; and prevent discrimination against part-time workers."

For a Canadian perspective, a number of free resources come to mind:
- labour, employment and human rights headlines from the publisher Lancaster House
- the Weekly Work Report from the University of Toronto Centre for Industrial Relations - archives are available online up to about one month ago; one has to have subscription for the more up-to-date newsletters
- HRinfodesk, a compilation service of announcements and commentaries from various sources
- commentary on Canadian law blogs such as Michael Fitzgibbon's Thoughts from a Management Lawyer and Schenk & Associates
