The Violence Against Women Act - an emerging employment remedy
Article Abstract:
Most of the cases brought under the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA) have dealt with conjugal violence, but three courts have given standing to lawsuits involving violence in the workplace. The VAWA offers advantages to plaintiffs seeking to remedy workplace violence, including the chance to proceed directly against individual violators, proof that the employer knew or should have known sexual harassment was occurring not being required, also plaintiffs not having to exhaust administrative remedies.

Labor standards and unemployment in Europe
Article Abstract:
The high social welfare costs in European countries are a major cause of high unemployment and impair Europe's competitiveness, and social protection has continued to go up as a proportion of GDP despite governments' efforts to reduce such costs. Attempts to reduce such costs have been incremental due to public opposition and have not produced any great improvement in unemployment statistics. Europeans can justify their social welfare only if European industry remains sufficiently competitive.
