European Labour Law (Beck International) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

At the beginning of labour law the development of European Law and social security law were of little significance. They only played a very minor role in the founding treaties of the European Communities as their aim was primarily to harmonise economic, not social conditions. 50 years after the Rome Treaties, the situation is completely different: There is more and more awareness that the only way to further develop European Law and the European Union as a whole is by not only getting rid of competitive constraints but also by making the citizens of Europe aware of its social dimension.

Now is therefore a good time for an outline of European labour law. This textbook was written mainly with students in mind that are specialising in labour law but it also gives practising labour lawyers an overview of the most important regulations and judgment issues. Content Overview:

• § 1 Basics
• § 2 Freedom of movement for workers
• § 3 Protection against discrimination

• § 5 Transfer of undertakings
• § 6 Protection against collective redundancies
• § 7 Working time
