This book features essays by leading legal scholars on 'landmark'
labour law cases from the mid-19th century to the present day. The
essays are acutely sensitive to the historical and theoretical
context of each case, and the volume provides original and
sometimes startling new perspectives on some familiar friends.
There are few activities as distinctively human as work and labour.
The book traces the development of labour law through the social
struggles and economic conflicts between workers, trade unions, and
employers. The narrative arc of its landmark cases reveals the
richness and complexity of the human story played out in the
working lives of real people. It also charts the remarkable
transformation of the constitutional role of courts in labour law,
from instruments of class oppression to the vindication of workers'
fundamental rights at work. The collection will be of interest to
students, scholars, and legal practitioners in labour and equality
law, as well as students in management studies, industrial
relations, and labour history.
Ten years after the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European
Union became part of binding primary law, and twenty years since
its adoption, this volume assess the application of the EU Charter
in the Member States. How often, and in particular by which actors,
is the EU Charter invoked at the national level? In what type of
situations is it used? Has the approach of national courts in
general, and of constitutional courts in particular, to EU law to
EU fundamental rights law changed following the entry into force of
the Charter? What sort of interplay does the Charter generate with
the national bill of rights and the European Convention? Is the
life with the Charter on the national level a harmonious
'praktische Konkordanz' or rather a messy 'menage a trois'? These
and other questions are discussed in the four parts that form the
book. Part I is dedicated to the normative foundations. Part II
sets out Member States' Perspectives, providing a structured,
in-depth account of the Charter's operation in 16 different Member
States. Part III provides a detailed evaluation of selected rights
contained within the Charter. Part IV synthesises the materials
presented up to that point to develop a series of broader
perspectives, looking to discover underlying lessons about the
relationship between EU fundamental rights law and national legal
systems.
Regulation 261/2004 on Air Passengers' Rights has been amongst the
most high-profile pieces of EU secondary legislation of the past
years, generating controversial judgments of the Court of Justice,
from C-344/04 ex parte IATA to C-402/07 Sturgeon. The Regulation
has led to equally challenging decisions across the Member States,
ranging from judicial enthusiasm for passenger rights to domestic
courts holding that a Regulation could not be relied upon by an
individual claimant or even threatening outright to refuse to apply
its provisions. The economic stakes are significant for passengers
and airlines alike, and despite the European Commission's recent
publication of reform proposals, controversies appear far from
settled. At the same time the Regulation should, according to the
Treaty, have uniform, direct and general application in all the
Member States of the Union. How, then, can this diversity be
explained? What implications do the diverging national
interpretations have for the EU's regulatory strategy at large?
This book brings together leading experts in the field to present a
series of case studies from 15 different Member States as well as
the extra-territorial application of Regulation 261, combined with
high-level analysis from the perspectives of Aviation law and EU
law.
EU Law in the Member States is a new series dedicated to exploring
the impact of landmark CJEU judgments and secondary legislation in
legal systems across the European Union. Each book will be written
by a team of generalist EU lawyers and experts in the relevant
field, bringing together perspectives from a wide range of
different Member States in order to compare and analyse the effect
of EU law on domestic legal systems and practice. The first volume
focuses on the uneasy relationship between the economic freedoms
enshrined in Articles 49 and 56 TFEU and the right of workers to
take collective action. This conflict has been at the forefront of
EU labour law since the CJEU's much-discussed decisions in C-438/05
Viking and C-341/05 Laval, as well as the Commission's more recent
attempts at legislative reforms in the failed Monti II Regulation.
Viking, Laval and Beyond explores judicial and legislative
responses to these measures in 10 Member States, and finds that the
impact on domestic legal systems has been much more varied than
traditional accounts of EU law would suggest.
To what extent is labour law an autonomous field of study? This
book is based upon the papers written by a group of leading
international scholars on this theme, delivered at a conference to
mark Professor Mark Freedland's retirement from his teaching
fellowship in Oxford. The chapters explore the boundaries and
connections between labour law and other legal disciplines such as
company law, competition law, contract law and public law; labour
law and legal methodologies such as reflexive governance and
comparative law; and labour law and other disciplines such as
ethics, economics and political philosophy. In so doing, it
represents a cross-section of the most sophisticated current work
at the cutting edge of labour law theory.

This book introduces students to the great debates in EU law.
Rather than simply presenting traditional approaches that provide
descriptions (often in historical order) of substantive and
constitutional elements of Union law, this book clusters material
around these debates in an engaging and lively way. By offering
concise analyses of core dilemmas and tensions in EU law, the book
provides a different kind of introduction, one that helps students
place the discussions within a boarder context and narrative. The
authors have found in their teaching that students often struggle
with individual aspects and materials without understanding broader
narratives, which are traditionally developed in monographs or
journal articles that are beyond the reach of undergraduate
readers.
