This slim volume is an excellent, concise summary of American labor law. The labor law expert will learn nothing new from Gold's work but will nevertheless find it a handy quick reference. Gold's work is more of a reduced precis of a labor law hornbook, and as such, law students will find it to be an excellent summary of a labor law course. That is, labor law reduced to black letter law in clearly written sentences. Gold adeptly reduces the opaque National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to its basic components and clearly explains its major provisions. Keep in mind its title: An Introduction to Labor Law. Those seeking an in depth discussion of labor law will be disappointed and would do better to consult other work's such as Gorman's hornbook on labor law, but those seeking a basic introduction, or a concise summary of the NLRA will find this an invaluable source. Excellent as a review for a labor law final examination.

An Introduction to Labor Law will give you excellent high-level, balanced overview of Labor Law. It is a quick and easy read that is not too technical and easy for a lay person to understand. Worth your time if your looking to get a quick overview, but if you are looking for more in-depth coverage of the law there are other resources that will do a better job.

If you want to get a basic grasp of labor law under the Wagner Act or NLRA, this book is for you.

Pretty consistent with other sources for laws on labor. It was easy to read and pretty interesting to me.
