This book was released on 2016-04-24 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many EU Member States, the various economic crises of recent years provided grounds for a rarely equalled level of state intervention in the regulation of labour relations with an explicit aim: the decentralisation of collective bargaining. An extensive body of research – summed up and analysed expertly in the chapters of this very important book – reveals that the process of decentralisation has more often than not led to a situation where salaries and labour conditions are ever more frequently determined by direct negotiations between employer and employees, with the State becoming the sole guarantor of employee protection even as it encourages decreasing labour costs to ensure that companies remain competitive. The comparative approach offered in this book adds to this synthesis by providing examples of speci c recent developments in fourteen Member States and Turkey. Among the numerous topics and issues that arise are the following: – ‘opt-out’ clauses that derogate unfavourably from sectoral agreement standards; – extension of the employer’s unilateral decision-making power; – ‘memoranda of understanding’ imposed by the ‘troika’ (EU, ECB, and IMF); and – ‘stand-by arrangements’ imposed by the IMF. However, notwithstanding the strong emphasis on changing the structure of collective agreements by shifting the centre of gravity closer to the company, research nds promise in the reconstituted support for sector-level agreements increasingly found among very small businesses, networked businesses, and work via digital platforms. This is the rst book to take stock of the current state of collective bargaining in Europe. It is an essential study for labour and employment law practitioners, and an exemplary analysis of immeasurable value to policymakers and academics in the eld.

Download or read book Work Life Balance and the Economic Crisis written by Anthony Forsyth and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one can deny the significance attributed to the issue of reconciling work and private life by contemporary society, the EU and other international organisations. Its relevance is evident in the multifaceted nature of this topic and the need for each party to the employment contract to strike a proper balance between professional and personal responsibilities, based on the assumption that people can successfully harmonise their work with life. Following on from these considerations, this volume provides a detailed analysis of work-life balance and its regulation in a number of EU countries, emphasizing the consequences that the current economic crisis has brought about in this field.

Download or read book Finding Solutions for a Post Crisis Society written by Teresa Torres-Coronas and published by PUBLICACIONS UNIVERSITAT ROVIRA I VIRGILI. This book was released on 2015-12-28 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2007 and the economic meltdown caused by the financial crisis, our societies have been evolving in different ways. New political movements have emerged in Southern Europe and new social movements in pursuit of common concerns are playing a more active role in our daily lives. In a parallel way, after the failure to predict the financial crisis, economist and social science researchers seek fresh thinking and new models that can better explain this new reality. Regulations are of critical importance in shaping the welfare of economies and society. Thus, core legal disciplines are exploring the effects of the financial crisis on social rights, labour market regulations, and civil, common law or international law, among others. With no doubt, the economic crisis has deeply impacted our economic, social, political and legal environment. During the last decade, researchers from a wide range of disciplines have been looking for solutions. Now it is time make a side stop on the way and to gather results. The 1rst International SBRLab Conference, Finding solutions for a post-crisis society, is organized by the Social and Business Research Lab (SBRLab), Universitat Rovira i Virgili. It is as an international and virtual meeting point of interdisciplinary research and researchers. The purpose of this international conference is to bring together researchers from management, economics, political, social and legal disciplines in order to present and discuss new trends in their respective fields.

Download or read book Igualdad de g nero y relaciones laborales entre la ley y la negociaci n colectiva written by Fernando Valdés Dal-Ré and published by Editorial Reus. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aun cuando la transversalidad constituye una de las señas de identidad de la Ley Orgánica 3/2007 sobre igualdad efectiva entre mujeres y hombres (LOI), los aspectos laborales en ella regulados ocupan una posición de centralidad, la cual se explica, entre otras, por las dos siguientes razones. De un lado, por la propia centralidad que, para el desarrollo del ser humano, tiene la actividad laboral en su condición de elemento básico de socialización. De otro, por la histórica y persistente discriminación que ha venido padeciendo y aún padece la mujer en el mercado de trabajo. La primera parte de la obra se centra en examinar la LOI desde los criterios metodológicos que ofrece la técnica legislativa. El ámbito de reflexión es, así pues, la LOI como conjunto ordenado y sistemático de normas, poniéndose de manifiesto cómo su contenido, funciones y técnicas de articulación han quedado fuertemente impregnados por el alto valor político asignado a los objetivos que se pretenden cumplir de reordenar, en un escenario social diferente, el papel de la mujer. Aclarado lo anterior, el grueso de la obra analiza el marco jurídico de la negociación colectiva, definiendo los espacios reguladores que la LOI confía a la autonomía colectiva, detectando las funciones y las disfunciones de la ordenación jurídica llevada a cabo, señaladamente en relación con los otros dos grandes cauces reguladores de las condiciones de trabajo (legislación y autonomía privada), e identificando, desde una perspectiva más general, los posibles efectos que esa ordenación puede producir pro futuro en la estructura del sistema español de negociación colectiva. El autor, Fernando Valdés Dal-Ré (Valladolid, 1945), Inspector de Trabajo en situación de excedencia, es Catedrático de Derecho del Trabajo y de la Seguridad Social de la UCM y Profesor Asociado de las Universidades de París X (Nanterre) y de Lyon 2 (Lumière).

Download or read book Protection and Promotion of Freedom of Religions and Beliefs in the European Context written by Luca Paladini and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-30 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an in-depth analysis of a fundamental human freedom and a cornerstone of democracy: the Freedom of Religions or Beliefs (FoRB). The book focuses on the legal protection and promotion of FoRB in Europe because, in this context, exercising this right goes beyond a mere internal positioning in terms of legislation; rather, it is influenced by international and supranational case law, as well as the promotional activities of selected non-state subjects of international law. The content is divided into three sections: Part I on the European Convention of Human Rights, Part II on the EU, and Part III on other international actors. The first two Parts examine FoRB in its systematic aspects and “day-to-day” aspects. In contrast, the third Part highlights the promotional activities carried out by the Holy See, the ILO, the Council of Europe (“beyond the Strasbourg Court”), and the OSCE to promote, recommend or otherwise support it. Overall, the volume highlights how the exercise of FoRB can be ensured via international and supranational legal protection (both normative and judicial) and via promotional activities aimed at encouraging and helping states guarantee tolerance and pluralism in their national legislation. The 16 main chapters offer a broad overview of the topic under investigation. Each contribution can be seen as a stand-alone study and, simultaneously, as a link in a chain of legal analysis that connects multiple FoRB-focused questions. The book offers a valuable tool for all readers with an academic or professional interest in FoRB and those who have to address the issue of how to protect this freedom. It is intended not only for academics who work in the field of law but also for legal practitioners (judges, lawyers, diplomats), human rights advocates, members of religious and spiritual communities, policymakers and students.
