Committees

The Section's committees offer members the opportunity to meet and work with colleagues experienced in the committee's area of concentration and, when appropriate, with government policy makers and regulators.

Committee Spotlight

International Labor Law Committee

Each year, since 1979, this committee has held timely and informative midwinter meetings overseas to exchange views face-to-face with leading labor relations and employment law experts in foreign capitals and leading cities ( Prague, Amsterdam, Dublin, Berlin, London, Brussels, Luxembourg, Geneva, Paris, Dusseldorf, Munich, Rome, Vienna, Madrid, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Copenhagen and Stockholm). As an important task force for the Section, committee members study and report on current developments in foreign labor relations law and employment law practices, particularly those affecting U.S. multi-national enterprises operating abroad.

The committee also maintains on-going liaison with key spokesmen for the labor and employment branches of international agencies, such as the European Community (EC), International Labor Organization (ILO), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which establish transnational codes of conduct applicable to international labor law.

Committee planning meetings are also held each year in the United States and at the ABA Annual Meeting. Periodic updates and background papers are also furnished to committee members several times a year. These reports interpret the latest labor law developments in those foreign nations and international bodies previously visited or about to be visited by the committee. The committee has published International Labor and Employment Laws, Volume I, Second Edition, with 2007 Cumulative Supplement, treatises providing an overview of labor and employment law in the major industrialized countries.

The Flash has been called the ABA Labor and Employment Law Section's bulletin board: it carries a regular message from the Chair and a monthly update of Section news and events plus hot topics in the field of Labor and Employment Law.
