The impact of the European Community on the working lives of all Eurpeans has been steadily increasing in recent years. Equal pay, temporary work, redundancy procedures and the use of visual display unites are just some of the areas now affected by its employment policy. Yet confusion still surrounds much of the EC's 'Social Dimension'. The policy proposals themselves are often couched in Eurojargon, while the legislative procedures required to adop them remain unfamiliar and complext. Furthermore, the EC's attempts to establish a set of basic rights across all members states - the Social Charter - have in any case met a mixed reception: fiercely attacked by some, but staunchly defended by others. This book is therefore aimed at everyone who would like an introduction to these issues - students of employee relations, European affairs and social policy, as well as, more generally, everyone who wants to understand the background to the controversies surrounding the Social Dimension. The book opens with an historical overview of EC social and labour policy. Subsequent chapters focus of specific topics - such as equal opportunities, employment protection, health and safety, and social security - to give the reader a more detailed understanding of the nature of EC involvement in these areas, including the debates, proposals and legislation. The book explores, of course, the significance of the most recent developments like the Social Charter, the Maastricht Treaty and the Social Chapter. 276 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
