Excuse Factory How Employment Law Is Paralyzing the American Workplace

"Olson, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, provides an illuminating account of the terrible shape of today's employment law. It's a story of how today's tangled web of laws covering sexual harassment, discrimination, and employment of the disabled has left employers in a confused state and open to lawsuits of the most ludicrous nature....[I] would be unfair to Olson to describe his effort as nothing more than a compilation of examples of federal agencies and court decisions run amok. Olson also deftly handles discussions of the unintended consequences of these laws as America's business efficiency suffers.Olson, Walter is the author of 'Excuse Factory How Employment Law Is Paralyzing the American Workplace' with ISBN 9780684827322 and ISBN 0684827328.
