“This book offers a substantial contribution to comparative employment relations at the workplace level in France and the UK. … the authors show a particularly open scientific approach by indicating routes to access the raw data they have used in a detailed appendix. They also provide a rich bibliography for each chapter allowing the immediate resituation of each set of data in the context of actual debates. A very stimulating and productive read!.” (Sylvie Contrepois, Work, Employment and Society, Vol. 33 (2), 2019)“This study represents the first attempt to provide a comprehensive comparatively informed overview of employment relations, practices and outcomes. To that end, the work achieves considerable success, providing a resource which will prove invaluable for lecturers, researchers, and, of course, policy-makers. … The book and these resources will surely both stimulate and aid further comparative research.” (Duncan Adam, Transfer, Vol. 23 (1), 2017)
