EC LABOUR LAW
EC Labour Law is an
introductory text that is structured to cover the main substantive areas of this branch of
EU law. It provides, where possible, a clear focus on EC labour law in its own right,
rather than in a wider social policy context. The author explores the parameters and
boundaries of the evolving EC labour law and employment strategy in the areas of
collective labour law, free movement of workers, equal opportunities and employment
protection. The major impact of the Treaty of Amsterdam, interaction with other policy
areai and academic debate surrounding the status of EC labour law as an autonomous subject
are also analysed in full.
EC Labour Law will be
essential reading for LLB and LLMstudents of labour law, EC law and specialist options on
EC labour law. It will also be useful for students of European studies, human resources
management, industrial relations and social policy, where an in-depth study of employment
law is required.
Erika Szyszczak is Jean
Monnet Professor of European Law at the University of Nottingham, and was formerly Senior
Lecturer in Law at the LSE. She teaches EC and employment law at postgraduate and
undergraduate levels and is a member of the editorial board of the Modern Law Review.
