How do Family and Medical Leave Act rights operate in practice in the courts and in the workplace? This empirical study examines how institutions and social practices transform the meaning of these rights to recreate inequality. Workplace rules and norms built around the family wage ideal, the assumption that disability and work are mutually exclusive, and management's historical control over time all constrain opportunities for social change. Yet workers can also mobilize rights as a cultural discourse to change the social meaning of family and medical leave. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from social constructivism and new institutionalism, this study explains how institutions transform rights to recreate systems of power and inequality but at the same time also provide opportunities for law to change social structure. It provides a fresh look at the perennial debate about law and social change by examining how institutions shape the process of rights mobilization.

Depuis l’arrêté royal du 28 mai 2003 relatif à la surveillance de la santé des travailleurs, les décisions médicales prises par le conseiller en prévention-médecin du travail y ont ajouté, qui interfèrent de plus en plus dans la gestion des entreprises. Les principales dispositions dudit arrêté bénéficient dès lors d’une attention particulière. Pour éviter au lecteur de s’égarer dans ce dédale qui implique détours dans d’autres réglementations (assurance obligatoire soins de santé et indemnités, mais aussi chômage), nous précisons les thèmes abordés, étant, successivement: l’empêchement de travailler à la suite d’une incapacité constatée par le médecin traitant et son indemnisation; la surveillance de santé imposée par l’arrêté royal du 28 mai 2003 et ses implications (e.a., obligation de l’employeur d’adapter le poste de travail ou d’offrir un travail de remplacement); la reprise des prestations de travail; les conséquences, sur le contrat, de la mise en œuvre ou non des recommandations du conseiller en prévention-médecin du travail; la rupture du contrat pour force majeure; l’incapacité de travail et les autres modes de rupture du contrat; le respect de la vie privée et l’interdiction de toute discrimination. Afin de permettre aux praticiens de se construire une opinion argumentée sur ces différentes facettes, l’auteur prend, à plusieurs reprises, position dans des controverses aussi importantes que, par exemple, les limites du pouvoir conféré au médecin-contrôleur, la possibilité du travailleur de reprendre anticipativement le travail ou les conditions nécessaires pour constater l’existence d’une force majeure pouvant rompre le contrat. Il n’en reste pas moins que ce positionnement relève d’un choix, certes argumenté, mais qui ne peut avoir pour effet de nier l’existence d’autres thèses. Aussi, le lecteur optera-t-il pour la solution qui lui semble la plus pertinente et ce, en connaissance de cause.

A country's economic productivity is directly related to the health of its workforce. Thus, how a nation allocates resources to the physical health of its population is of vital importance in establishing the economic well-being of its citizens.This volume contains nine original and innovative articles that investigate the relationship between a nation's health policies, employee health and resulting labor market outcomes. Topics include the direct link between employees' health and wages, the employment impact of an unfavorable health shock, the relationship between job insecurity and a worker's mental health, the effect of career disruptions on already chronically ill workers, the consequences of arbitrary health insurance disenrollments, the impact of reducing publically available sick day benefits, the repercussions of increasing employers' sick pay benefits on absenteeism, the relationship between economic conditions and opioid abuse, and the consequences of parental migration on children's health.For researchers and students of labor economics, or anyone interested in understanding how a country's health policies affect its economic productivity, this volume is a fundamental text.
