Aprašymas

The protection of jobs and labour law standards achieved by employees in the past has been under pressure from neoliberalization forces for many years. The focused perspectives evident in this original collection of essays go a long way toward clearly defining where labour law and social security law must set their sights in order to preserve fair and productive employer-employee relations in the new world of work.

Distinguished researchers study the changing realities confronting the labour market, in public policy as well as in industrial relations. Issues and topics include the following:

• integration of immigrants into industrial relations;
• the social situation of migrant workers;
• new phenomena brought by the digital age;
• temporary agency work;
• harmonizing family and working lives;
• sport and labour law;
• the role of European Works Councils; and
• social and labour reforms.

Throughout this book, the contributors emphasize the changing role of the state and reform agendas. Although the central focus is on Europe, there is an abundance of comparative detail, allowing for global application.

As a matchless, up-to-date overview and analysis of how new and emerging forms of employment and industrial relations impact employee security, this book will be warmly welcomed by practitioners, academics, and policymakers concerned with ensuring the persistence of fair and viable standards in labour and social security law.
