EU Labour Law

All of European Union (EU) labour and employment law, from its most fundamental pillars to very recent developments, is included, contextualised and discussed in this comprehensive resource, offered as both a printed book and in an interactive e-format. Presenting an article-by-article analysis of every relevant instrument in a logical sequence according to the provision’s content, forty-seven authorities on specific areas of labour law each provide detailed commentary on a particular provision’s underlying rationale and range of application.
Among the ways the work will prove of exceptional value are the following:

- The provisions applying to any labour or employment situation can be quickly located.

- Each provision’s commentary discusses its full context, including legislative background, relevant policy documents, Commission implementation reports, case law analysis, and academic debate.

- Extensive internal referencing illuminates the interaction between different legal instruments and provisions.

- The e-version is thoroughly searchable, with internal hyperlinks facilitating navigation between chapters and sections and external hyperlinks to sources referred to in the individual commentaries.

- The text of each provision is followed by a comprehensive list of relevant EU-level case law.

This comprehensive resource gives practitioners dealing with any aspect of EU labour law an immediately usable structured overview of every relevant provision’s context, case law, relationship with connected provisions, and assessment of its implementation in the Member States. Whether used for quick reference in conducting a case or for in-depth exploration, this work is uniquely suited as a starting point and aid for research, study and practice in the field of EU labour law.
