(The Right to) Work as Foundational Value: Italy and the Very Notion of a Constitutional Promise
No full textStarting from the consideration that work is the foundational value of the Italian Republic, the chapter investigate the Italian Constitution, as interpreted by the Constitutional court, from the point of view of the right to work in its meaning of freedom right, social right, workers right. As freedom right of the human being in the choice of the work activity; as social right, in the sense that public authorities and the legislator must focus on the creation of the economic, social and legal conditions that will allow the employment of all those provided with the relevant work capacity; as workers’ right to protection against dismissal. From this last perspective, one can conclude that the minimum standard required by the Italian Constitution as interpreted by the Constitutional Court is one of the motivation for the dismissal as leading principle, thus allowing the legislator to opt for the co-existence of different regimes
Labour law in a changing world
Full text linkThe world around us is changing rapidly due to digitalisation, robotisation, the green transition, growing scarcity of resources, and an increasingly individualised society at large. Many of these issues profoundly affect the world of work. Not surprisingly, a lot of attention is paid to each of these changes in the field of labour law and many others. In some fields, like socio-economics, new theories are proposed to deal with these changes. Like Kate Raworth's Doughnut Economics and Mariana Muzzucato's Mission Economics. Anticipating the paradigm shifts these theories will create, prof. Beryl ter Haar's research will re-think, re-imagine, and re-shape labour law. As such her research will reconsider the basic values, purposes and functions of labour law, including established institutions such as the employment contract, the need for social security and social benefits and trade unionism. This is important since understanding where we are heading towards, will ensure the coherence and consistency of our labour law systems, enable us to make the transition, and find more sustainable labour law solutions for nowaday labour law problems
Labour Law and Work in a wellbeing economy
Full text linkIn andere disciplines, zoals economie, sociologie, antropologie en business management wordt gedebatteerd over ideeën voor een nieuw sociaaleconomisch systeem ter vervanging van de neoliberale vrijemarkteconomie. De gemeenschappelijke punten in die ideeën kunnen voor een paradigmaverschuiving zorgen die ingrijpende gevolgen kan hebben voor het werk wat zal noodzaken tot een fundamentele verandering van het arbeidsrecht

Freedom of association:Its emergence and the case for prevention of its decline
No full textFreedom of association emerged initially as a right of ‘citizens’ in countries of the North. Gradually, the compass of people able to claim this entitlement was extended and had profound implications for the parameters of acceptable behaviour of business and employers. The grander endeavour to promote international human rights arguably entails universality of entitlement for every human being, going beyond a claim only for a citizen of a particular State. However, the apparent imperatives of global capitalism led to a neutering of this entitlement under international law, resulting in a diminution of its efficacy and content. The chapter closes by considering the corresponding effects in domestic labour markets, namely how nationalistic forms of discrimination and exclusion can now flourish to the detriment of workers and business. <br/
Collective bargaining in the public sector : different models in a distinct international framework
No full textAlexander De Becker (Chapter 18) deals with employee involvement, or collective bargaining, with the State as employer. The public Sector is explicitly recognised at EU level with a Sectoral Social Dialogue Committee (SSDC) for Government Administration, which has adopted the agreement on I & C of civil servants and employees of central government administrations that lead to the EPSU case. The creation of a sincerely powerful system of collective labour law in this sector, at EU level, seems not realistic though because of the distinctive traditions and models within the Member States and important, yet varying, derogations from the existing (international) regulatory framework on collective bargaining. De Becker illustrates this with a comparative study of four EU Member States - Belgium, France, Denmark and Sweden
