Description
Book SynopsisEU Labour Law is a concise, readable and thought-provoking introduction to the labor and employment law of the European Union.
The book explores the subject's major policy themes, examines the various procedures by which EU labor law is made, and analyzes key topics such as worker migration, equality, working time and procedures for workers' participation in employers' decision-making. It sets the legal materials in their policy context and identifies the important issues which have shaped the development of EU labor law and are likely to determine its future, including the economic crisis and the debate about fundamental rights in the EU.
This accessible yet rigorous book will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate law students, academics and practitioners working on domestic and EU labor and employment law, as well as those with an interest in this increasingly important subject from the perspective of business and management, economics, sociology or politics.
Trade Review -- Stephen Weatherill, Somerville College, Oxford, UK
’I feel confident that this book will be judged to have made a very significant contribution to the study of European labour law. It fills a particular niche within the rich existing literature by providing a lucid, accessible, and succinct thematic overview of the subject, in much the same way as the author has so successfully done for the study of British labour law in her work on perspectives on labour law.’ -- Mark Freedland, Oxford University, UK
