Labour and social security law studies have addressed the topic of the decline of the standard employment relationship mainly from the point of view of the growing number of atypical relationships. Only a limited number of studies have examined the issue from the perspective of the differentiation between core and contingent work. Such an examination is necessary as the increase in contingent work leads to complicated legal questions which vary between European states depending on the type of contingent arrangements that have become most prevalent. This book analyses, using a comparative approach, these different types of contingency from a national and EU perspective touching on the work relationship from a labour as well as a social security point of view. The aim of the book is to identify and analyse those questions adopting an innovative approach and to put forward proposals for safeguarding social cohesion within undertakings and European society.

“..this most thorough commentary must be regarded as the Bible on the Charter”Peter Oliver, Common Market Law ReviewThis second edition of the first commentary of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in English, written by experts from several EU Member States, provides an authoritative but succinct statement of how the Charter impacts upon EU, domestic and international law. Following the conventional article-by-article approach, each commentator offers an expert view of how each article is either already being interpreted in the courts, or is likely to be interpreted. Each commentary is referenced to the case law and is augmented with extensive references to further reading. This is a much-welcomed new edition of the authoritative guide to the Charter.

Precarious work is a current concern throughout Europe as a result of the proliferation of new types of employment related to the gig economy. This timely book, positioned at the intersection between European and national labour law, provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal and social policy challenges arising from this phenomenon.Since the 2008 financial crisis, there has been an increasing need to respond to the rise of precarious work and the risk it poses to the European model of secure employment and social protection, which this book thoroughly explores. Chapters first consider the theoretical foundations of the issue, before examining the key characteristics and dynamics of employment regulation in Europe related to precarious work, as well as surveying recent judicial decisions. The book demonstrates the potential for improved labour regulation and case law to address the situation both at EU and national level.Precarious Work will prove invaluable to law, politics, sociology and anthropology scholars with an interest in the phenomenon of precarious labour. Lawyers, policymakers and other practitioners working in this area will also find this book a useful resource.

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union includes,in addition to the traditional 'civil and political rights', a large number of rights of an economic or social nature. This collection of essays by leading scholars in this field considers the significance of the inclusion of such rights within the EU Charter, in terms of protection of individual and collective social and economic interests within and between the EU and its Member States. What differences might it make to EU law and policy (both in terms of its substance, and in terms of the processes by which it is formed), that certain economic and social rights are proclaimed in the EU Charter?

This new edition traces the evolution of EU employment law over sixty years from its limited market-based origins in the Treaty of Rome through to the present-day commitment to advance the fundamental social rights of workers and establish a core 'guarantee' of adequate social protection in Union policies in the Treaty of Lisbon. Each historical stage of development of Community/Union employment law is analysed in depth chapter-by-chapter to give a sense of perspective to this fast changing area. The book addresses the challenges posed to EU employment law in the 2010s by the global economic crisis, the growth of the service economy, e-working, demographic changes, and the breakdown of traditional work relationships and methods of collective organisation. The author illustrates how the social, economic and employment imperatives of the European integration process have always been intertwined and illustrates how the gradual emergence of EU employment law from a twilight existence is best understood by exploring consistent strands of policy development.

How effective is the EU's contribution to the enforcement of global labour standards alongside its external policies in the areas of trade, international development and human rights? As an increasingly influential "global actor", the enlarged EU has been at the forefront of attempts to strengthen the social dimension of globalisation as a counterweight to the ascent of economic liberalism and more effective economic governance by the WTO. In the first part of this new book the author advocates the case for reinforcing global labour law based on implementing ILO standards. This is followed by an analysis of the EU's policies in the area of labour law in the context of its interconnected trade, development and foreign policies, including promotion of human rights. In the final part, the author addresses the complex triangular relationship between the EU, the ILO and the WTO. Utilising case studies, he demonstrates how the EU is becoming increasingly innovative in promoting international labour standards when establishing economic partnerships and granting trade preferences. The EU is often accused of violating WTO principles and promoting its values at the expense of indigenous self-determination. The author argues that these charges can be rebutted but only if the EU develops genuine partnerships with developing countries and effectively articulates both the social case for labour law, to correct unfairness arising from unequal relationships of power and wealth, and the economic case, to raise the quality of products, encourage investment and, in the long-term, offer a competitive advantage.

This book traces the evolution of European Union employment law and social policy from its essentially economic origins in the Treaty of Rome through to the emerging themes post-Amsterdam: co-ordination of national employment policies,modernisation of social laws and combating discrimination. Each stage of development of Community employment law and social policy is analysed in depth to give a sense of perspective to this fast changing field. As the European Union seeks to meet the challenges of globalisation the need to develop social policy as a productive factor has come to the fore. The author explains how the social, economic and employment imperatives of European integration have always been intertwined and how the emergence of Community employment law from its hitherto twilight existence is best understood through an examination of consistent strands of policy development.
