In an empirical study of the interaction between law, adjudication, and conflicts about behaviour in the workplace, Lizzie Barmes analyses how labour and equality rights operate in practice in the UK. Arguing that individual employment rights have a Janus-faced quality, simultaneously challenging and sustaining existing distributions of power between management and employees, she calls for legal intervention at work to focus on resolving tensions between collectiveand individual concerns across the range of workplaces, and to stimulate the expression and reconciliation of different viewpoints in the implementation and enforcement of individual legal entitlements.Based on extensive primary research, the volume surveys and analyses experiences and attitudes towards negative behaviour in the workplace, and explains relevant employment and equality law as it has developed from 1995 to the present day, covering the major case law and legislative developments over this time. This book provides qualitative analysis of authoritative UK judgments about behavioural conflict at work from 1995 to 2010, as well as of interviews with senior managers and seniorlawyers, allowing the reader first-hand insight into the influence of law and legal process on problems and conflict at work.

The Sweet family have run the local bakery for as long as anyone can remember. Twins Ruby and Mary Sweet help their widowed father out when they can. Mary loves baking and has no intention of leaving their small Gloucestershire village. While Ruby dreams of life in London. But as war threatens there will be changes for all of the Sweet family with brother Charlie off to serve and cousin Frances facing evacuation. But there will be opportunities too, as the twins' baking talent catches the attention of the Ministry of Food...

When Ruby finds John Smith in hospital, recovering from severe starvation, courtesy of a Changi jail, she vows to care for him, no matter what. And Mary soon learns that if her marriage is to flourish, she must go to Canada with her husband, leaving her family behind. As for Frances, she has fallen in love with a man old enough to be her father. But will her family approve?

But in London a baby has been found in a bombed out house, sheltered in the arms of his dead mother. A child to make life worth living again. . ."

With its origins rooted in one of the "Wall Street Journal"'s most emailed stories ever, "The Monopolists" is the inside story of how the game of Monopoly came into existence, the heavy embellishment of its provenance by Parker Brothers and multiple media outlets, the lost female originator of the game, and one man's lifelong obsession to tell the true story about the game's questionable origins.Most Americans who play Monopoly think it was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvania heater salesman who sold his game to Parker Brothers in 1935 and lived happily ever after on royalties. That story, however, is not exactly true.Ralph Anspach, an everyman and WWII refugee, unearthed the real story and it traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Lincoln-Douglas Debates, the Quakers, and to a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie. "The Monopolists" is in part Anspach's David-versus-Goliath tale of his 1970s battle against Parker Brothers, one of the most beloved companies of all time. Anspach was a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game, which hailed those who busted up trusts and monopolies instead of those who took control of all the properties. While he and his lawyers researched previous Parker Brothers lawsuits, he accidentally discovered the true history of the game, which began with Magie's Landlord's Game. That game was invented more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly and she waged her own war with Parker Brothers to be credited as the real originator of the game. Ironically, the Landlord's Game, like Anti-Monopoly, was underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today. It isn't surprising that Magie's game was widely embraced by left-wing intellectuals for decades, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust.More than just a book about board games, "The Monopolists" illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century--a social history of American corporate greed that reads like the best detective fiction, told through the real-life winners and losers in the Monopoly wars.""
