This
new edition of EU Employment Law provides a complete revision and
update of the leading English language text in the field. The coverage
in the new edition has been expanded with material on all the latest
developments, incorporating the changes made by the Lisbon Treaty; the
EU2020 strategy; the Charter of Fundamental Rights; the 'Article 19
Directives'; the Temporary Agency Work Directive; the revisions to the
existing including the Directives on Parental Leave and European Works
Council; and the new Social Security Regulations 883/2004. It also
analyses the ever-expanding body of employment case law, including the
momentous decisions in Viking, Laval, Rueffert, and Commission v
Luxembourg. The book begins with an examination of the development of EU
employment law focusing on the shift from employment law to employment
policy. The text then studies rule-making in the field of employment
law, considering both the traditional routes to legislation and
governance techniques such as the Open Method of Coordination. The final
chapters look closely at the substantive area of employment law,
examining the free movement of persons, equal treatment, health and
safety and working conditions, the restructuring of enterprises, worker
participation, and collective action. Throughout, the book addresses the
fundamental question as to the purpose of EU employment law: is it
primarily economic, or social, or both?
