This book was released on 2024-08-30 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book ‘Labour Law Differences between Germany and Spain’ offers a comprehensive analysis of the labour law regulations in both countries in comparison. It takes an in-depth look at the main differences in all relevant areas, such as employment contracts, protection against dismissal, working hours and collective agreements, and also addresses the specific characteristics and challenges arising from the different national legal systems. In Germany, the labour market is highly regulated, with a particular focus on comprehensive protection against dismissal and strict regulations on working hours. In contrast, Spanish labour law is more flexible, particularly with regard to fixed-term employment contracts and the implementation of dismissals. This flexibility offers employers more room for manoeuvre, but often comes at the expense of job security for employees. The book also examines the social security systems in Germany and Spain and analyses their influence on the structure of labour relations. It becomes clear that German legislation is strongly orientated towards the protection of employee rights, while the Spanish system tends to focus more on economic flexibility. This work is therefore an indispensable reference work for anyone who needs an in-depth and lasting understanding of the differences in labour law between Germany and Spain. It contributes significantly to a better understanding of the complexities of the international labour law landscape and how to respond effectively.

This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are significant differences between labour law in Germany and France that affect both employees and employers. In Germany, labour law is strongly influenced by the principles of the welfare state. It places particular emphasis on the protection of employees, especially through comprehensive co-determination rights of works councils and strict regulation of dismissals. The Dismissal Protection Act ensures that employees can only be dismissed under certain conditions, which guarantees a high level of job security. In addition, collective labour agreements are widespread in Germany and offer additional protection mechanisms. In France, on the other hand, labour law is more centralised and state-controlled. The ‘Code du Travail’ regulates many aspects of working life and provides for strict regulations in some areas, such as working hours and the minimum wage. French labour law is characterised by a high degree of state intervention, which is reflected in the traditionally high importance of trade unions and industrial action. The regulations on the dismissal of employees are also strict, but more flexible compared to Germany, especially after the labour law reforms under President Macron. These differences in labour law reflect the different historical, social and political developments in the two countries. While the principle of social partnership and decentralisation is paramount in Germany, French labour law is characterised by strong state regulation and centralism. An understanding of these differences is essential for companies and professionals operating in both countries in order to correctly fulfil the respective labour law requirements and avoid conflicts.

Download or read book The Sources of Labour Law written by Tamás Gyulavári and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labour law has traditionally aimed to protect the employee under a hierarchy built on constitutional provisions, statutory law, collective agreements at various levels, and the employment contract, in that order. However, in employment regulation in recent years, ‘flexibility’ has come to dominate the world of work – a set of policies that reshuffle the relationship among the fundamental pillars of labour law and inevitably lead to degrading the protection of employees. This book, the first-ever to consider the sources of labour law from a comparative perspective, details the ways in which the traditional hierarchy of sources has been altered, presenting an international view on major cross-cutting issues followed by fifteen country reports. The authors’ analysis of the changing hierarchy of labour law sources in the light of recent trends includes such elements as the following: the constitutional dimension of labour rights; the normative intervention by the State; the regulatory function of collective bargaining and agreements; the hierarchical organization of labour law sources and the ‘principle of favour’; the role played by case law in both common law and civil law countries; the impact of the European Economic Governance; decentralization of collective bargaining; employment conditions as key components of global competitive strategies; statutory schemes that allow employees to sign away their rights. National reports – Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States – describe the structure of labour law regulations in each legal system with emphasis on the current state of affairs. The authors, all distinguished labour law scholars in their countries, thus collectively provide a thorough and comprehensive commentary on labour law regulation and recent tendencies in national labour laws in various corners of the globe. With its definitive analysis of such crucial matters as the decentralization of collective bargaining and how individual employment contracts can deviate from collective agreements and statutory law, and its comparison of representative national labour law systems, this highly informative book will prove of inestimable value to all professionals concerned with employment relations, labour disputes, or labour market policy, especially in the context of multinational workforces.

Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on Spain not only describes and analyses the legal aspects of labour relations, but also examines labour relations practices and developing trends.

This book was released on 2024-01-02 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenges that labour law currently faces are well known. The emergence of new forms of work and the growing importance of technology in the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are important tests of the resilience of this field of law and its function: regulating the labour market. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly important to examine the fundamentals of labour law, especially how subordinate labour is addressed in various countries’ constitutions, in order to focus the analysis of the new phenomena affecting labour relations on their fundamental frameworks.In this context, this book puts forward an overarching framework that reflects how the Italian, German, French, Portuguese, and Spanish constitutions view labour in terms of both collective and individual relations – particularly the right to collective bargaining, the right to strikes and lock-outs, job security, and the right to remuneration – without losing sight of each Constitution's historical and political context.The aim of this book is therefore to provide an overview of the labour law frameworks in the constitutions of these legal systems and to show, by means of practical examples, how the law concretely implements them. Accordingly, it provides notes on the legal treatment of the topics analysed, serving as a practical guide for the study of these matters in the respective jurisdictions.This book will be of interest to all students and scholars of labour law looking for an overview of the topics covered in all five jurisdictions.

Download or read book Labour Law in the Courts written by Silvana Sciarra and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2001-03-23 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research underpinning this book was designed to support and further develop ideas already described in broader and more theoretical studies,about the dialogues happening among national courts and the ECJ as a key factor of European integration. The role played by the courts as part of the interplay of institutions within the European Union has been recognised as crucial, and this research, which was conducted at the European University Institute, homes in upon some specific examples. It deals with six Member States of the European Union: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, analysing two select but significant areas of substantive law: transfer of undertakings and equality legislation. The analysis dwells on these key areas, although some other fields of social law were selected in order to prove the main theory underlying the whole research. While on the one hand offering a comparative assessment of developments in the six member states chosen for study, the research also highlights national peculiarities as well as the factors perceived to be driving national actors towards the preliminary ruling procedures This work will be of interest to all scholars of EU law and labour law.

Download or read book Collective Bargaining for Self Employed Workers in Europe written by Bernd Waas and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collective Bargaining for Self-Employed Workers in Europe Approaches to Reconcile Competition Law and Labour Rights Founding Editor: Roger Blanpain General Editor: Frank Hendrickx Edited by Bernd Waas & Christina Hießl The increase in the number of self-employed workers, partially in response to the advent of the platform economy, has raised the spectre of horizontal price-fixing by self-employed members of a profession. This perception, however, is at odds with international labour standards, under which self-employed persons should also be able to conclude collective agreements to some extent. It is now commonplace for companies to offer various forms of non-standard employment that shift risk from the labour engager to the labour provider – which may increase the likelihood of those workers to fall outside the legal concept of ‘employee’ and because of that affects their legal protection. Legal practitioners may then face a dilemma: what may be required under labour law may be prohibited under antitrust law. In the first comprehensive analysis of these intensely debated issues, the authors argue that there is an urgent need to address the current legal puzzle, including through regulatory measures. This must include, in particular, the existing regulation at the level of the European Union (EU), which dominates competition law in the Member States. The book combines an analysis of the supranational framework by experts in labour law as well as competition law with in-depth country reports from Member States of the EU in which regulations and/or practices of collective bargaining for the self-employed exist. Among the many issues discussed in this book are the following: collective bargaining and international labour rights; self-employed individuals and the concept of undertaking in EU competition law; the concept of ‘social dumping’; the importance of the case law of the European Court of Justice; the concept of ‘vulnerability’; competition authorities’ enforcement strategies and priorities; the concept of ‘false self-employed’; and the possible introduction of exemptions, presumptions, safe harbours, or smart regulation solutions in competition law. The book gives an insight into the legal situation in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, and Sweden. These reports discuss the current practice of collective bargaining and how the current law is reflected in the academic discourse on the right of self-employed people to bargain collectively. This important book, in its presentation of legally sound and effective ways to shape the application of the right to bargain collectively that are attuned to the business and technological realities of the twenty-first century, promotes an understanding of the consequences for current law and practice and offers a basis for a discussion of regulatory measures addressing existing challenges. Practitioners of labour law and competition law, national competition authorities, and other interested parties will benefit from the detailed analysis and extensive findings.

Download or read book The Transformation of Labour Law in Europe written by Bob Hepple and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-09-02 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The labour laws of European democracies all underwent major transformations in the seven decades after the Second World War. Following reconstruction, these laws became an essential element in the building of welfare states; in the 1980s and 1990s they were the target of neo-liberal deregulation; and at the beginning of the 21st century new 'flexible' labour laws have attempted to integrate economic and social policy. This book, a sequel to 'The Making of Labour Law in Europe- A Comparative Study of Nine Countries up to 1945' (ed. B Hepple), compares the similarities and differences in the ways in which EU Member States reflected and shaped these general developments, in the context of economic, social and political changes over the period 1945-2004. Note: the Publishers are issuing a reprint of the first volume, 'The Making of Labour Law in Europe - A Comparative Study of Nine Countries up to 1945' to coincide with publication of the sequel. The great strength of the collection is on the focus on context, with chapters looking at developments in labour market trends and structures of worker represntation.

Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of U S Labor Law for the Twenty First Century written by Richard Bales and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last fifty years in the United States, unions have been in deep decline, while income and wealth inequality have grown. In this timely work, editors Richard Bales and Charlotte Garden - with a roster of thirty-five leading labor scholars - analyze these trends and show how they are linked. Designed to appeal to those being introduced to the field as well as experts seeking new insights, this book demonstrates how federal labor law is failing today's workers and disempowering unions; how union jobs pay better than nonunion jobs and help to increase the wages of even nonunion workers; and how, when union jobs vanish, the wage premium also vanishes. At the same time, the book offers a range of solutions, from the radical, such as a complete overhaul of federal labor law, to the incremental, including reforms that could be undertaken by federal agencies on their own.
