Structural Injustice and Workers’ Rights

Structural Injustice and Workers’ Rights by Virginia Mantouvalou is a persuasive, rigorously researched examination of how legal structures shape — and often limit — the protection of labour. Thought-provoking and accessible, this book challenges conventional approaches to employment law and proposes a fresh framework for understanding systemic obstacles to workplace justice.

Drawing on comparative examples from the UK, Europe and international labour regimes, Mantouvalou explains how seemingly neutral rules can perpetuate inequality, exclusion and exploitation. Clear case studies, sharp legal analysis and normative argumentation combine to show why individual remedies are insufficient unless underlying institutional forces are addressed. The text bridges academic theory and real-world policy, making complex concepts intelligible for lawyers, policymakers, activists and students of labour and human rights.

Readers gain practical insight into reforming employment law, collective bargaining, and social protections to better serve vulnerable workers. This book is especially valuable for those engaged in labour rights advocacy, HR compliance, legal education, or public policy — anyone seeking tools to diagnose and dismantle structural barriers in the workplace.

A timely contribution to debates on labour justice, Structural Injustice and Workers’ Rights equips you with the language and arguments needed to influence change across the UK, EU and beyond.
