Work-Life Balance and the Economic Crisis
No one can deny the significance attributed to the issue of reconciling work and private life by contemporary society, the EU and other international organisations. Its relevance is evident in the multifaceted nature of this topic and the need for each party to the employment contract to strike a proper balance between professional and personal responsibilities, based on the assumption that people can successfully harmonise their work with life. Following on from these considerations, this volume provides a detailed analysis of work-life balance and its regulation in a number of EU countries, emphasizing the consequences that the current economic crisis has brought about in this field.
The Value of Work and Its Rules between Innovation and Tradition
The global challenges resulting from economic, demographic, ecological changes have led individuals to evaluate the advisability of creating new work identities, adopting a perspective based on social justice and sustainability. In this sense, this book examines the ways and the means through which the principle “labour is not a commodity” has been developed and the practical implications thereof. It will serve to help academics and practitioners in a number of fields to understand the ongoing socio-economic changes and the impact of globalisation today, and to analyze the role of public institutions and private stakeholders operating in the context where this principle is implemented.

La garantía de indemnidad
La garantía de indemnidad es una figura de origen genuinamente laboral, construida con el objeto de evitar represalias contra el trabajador que reclama contra su empresa. Ha actuado como revulsivo en el ámbito de las relaciones laborales y constituye una herramienta clave para atenuar las desigualdades inherentes a las mismas. Difícilmente podría haberse residenciado en otra rama del Derecho el origen de esta institución, estrechamente vinculada al carácter tuitivo que debe caracterizar al Derecho del Trabajo. Han pasado casi treinta años desde que la garantía de indemnidad fue enunciada por primera vez en el seno de la jurisprudencia constitucional. Desde entonces ha ido desarrollá...
