Business organisations depend on having one or more persons who can legitimately make strategic business decisions. But what are the legal entitlements of such key professionals? This is the first book – with contributions from experts across Europe – to take a broad comparative look at how the delimitation of rights and duties of executive and non-executive managers is done under different areas of EU law and across different jurisdictions (namely, EU and national law). Aspects of the executive role covered include the following: extensive treatment of definitions and methodologies to ascertain the status of managers as ‘workers’ in Europe; comprehensive interdisciplinary and compar...

Since 2007 and the economic meltdown caused by the financial crisis, our societies have been evolving in different ways. New political movements have emerged in Southern Europe and new social movements in pursuit of common concerns are playing a more active role in our daily lives. In a parallel way, after the failure to predict the financial crisis, economist and social science researchers seek fresh thinking and new models that can better explain this new reality. Regulations are of critical importance in shaping the welfare of economies and society. Thus, core legal disciplines are exploring the effects of the financial crisis on social rights, labour market regulations, and civil, common...
In many EU Member States, the various economic crises of recent years provided grounds for a rarely equalled level of state intervention in the regulation of labour relations with an explicit aim: the decentralisation of collective bargaining. An extensive body of research – summed up and analysed expertly in the chapters of this very important book – reveals that the process of decentralisation has more often than not led to a situation where salaries and labour conditions are ever more frequently determined by direct negotiations between employer and employees, with the State becoming the sole guarantor of employee protection even as it encourages decreasing labour costs to ensure that...
Labour law has traditionally aimed to protect the employee under a hierarchy built on constitutional provisions, statutory law, collective agreements at various levels, and the employment contract, in that order. However, in employment regulation in recent years, ‘flexibility’ has come to dominate the world of work – a set of policies that reshuffle the relationship among the fundamental pillars of labour law and inevitably lead to degrading the protection of employees. This book, the first-ever to consider the sources of labour law from a comparative perspective, details the ways in which the traditional hierarchy of sources has been altered, presenting an international view on major ...
Offers a novel take on the purpose of labour law and connects constitutional ideals with the objective of labour law.
Several major transformations have characterized the world of work in recent years. Those transformations follow different patterns in different countries, yet their dynamics are so interrelated that it is often hard, if not impossible, to distinguish the causal relationships among them. Technological advances, globalization, old and new media, demographic changes, and new production and economic systems are all key factors acting on this ongoing transformation which is impacting both the world of work and society as a whole. In the spirit of Karl Polanyi, the well-known scholar who described the rise of market-based societies, we are led to wonder if we are witnessing a new “Great Transfo...

A nova realidade digital impôs-se em múltiplos domínios do saber, sendo o Direito do Trabalho um deles. Há, pois, que repensar este ramo do saber jurídico e, em particular, as novas formas de prestar trabalho através de plataformas digitais, sobretudo a questão da sua qualificação, a Inteligência Artificial e a utilização de algoritmos nas relações laborais. O tempo de trabalho, os respetivos limites e a desconexão não podiam deixar de ser profusamente tratados. O mesmo deve dizer-se da igualdade e da proibição da discriminação na era digital, assim como a segurança e saúde nas novas formas de prestar trabalho. Por último, tratamos o poder de controlo do empregador na era digital, com os respetivos limites, enfatizando o RGPD e a Lei Nacional que o executa e os direitos de personalidade, assim como os limites daquele controlo no teletrabalho. Fácil será concluir que a segunda edição desta obra continua a ser percursora de um “Novo” Direito do Trabalho, sem prejuízo da manutenção do ADN do “Velho”.
