Once again, CLEBC brings you a comprehensive and timely Human Rights Conference publication; this is a growing area of interest and is constantly changing. As in past years, we had an overwhelming response to our Call for Papers, and wanted these materials to include as many substantive topics as possible, including: managing absenteeism/meeting human rights, discrimination in the provision of services, place of origin and non-discrimination in international employment relationships, gender identity, family status cases, pregnancy and prenatal leave and benefits, mandatory retirement, and case law update. Stay up to date in this dynamic practice area.
