The economic unification of Europe has created a lot of victims.
The realization of the single market has taken place without any
adjusting or accompanying economic and social policies. Its effects
on social and human relations go far beyond the economic and
commercial areas its authors had in mind. It has in fact led to
changes in European society that are so far-reaching that they
could very well be characterized as mutations. This book looks at
the phenomenon of social dumping in the wider context of
liberalized social competition as steered by the European Union. It
contains a number of testimonies by people who actively fight
social dumping, with special attention paid to the harrowing
dumping practices in the road transport sector. Some of the authors
also examine the phenomenon of social dumping in relation to
compliance with the fundamental right of all workers to respect for
their dignity as human beings. In this respect, the underlying
question is whether, by tolerating legislation that allows human
dignity to be violated by social dumping, the European and national
legislators in fact infringe on this key fundamental right.This
book is intended for practitioners, academics, researchers and
policy-makers working in the area of social policy.
