Active Ageing and Labour Law
This book deals with active aging and labor law and is dedicated to Professor Roger Blanpain on the occasion of his 80th anniversary. For the European Union, active aging means growing old with good health, participating as a full member of society, feeling fulfilled if still employed, having more independence in daily life, and simply being involved as citizens. For labor law, active aging covers a wide variety of issues, such as age discrimination in recruitment and selection, seniority rules, pay and working conditions, as well as modern concepts such as work-life balance, involving working time regulations and adjustments made for older people in order to allow them to continue in the labor market. In this festschrift, leading scholars share their insights on the role of labor law in an aging society. The book's focus is on Europe, both the European Union as well as the Member States. However, in the tradition of Professor Blanpain's school of thought, a global mindset is used, including: comparative work, a perspective from the US, as well as an interdisciplinary understanding of labor law and active aging.

Labour Law and Industrial Relations at the Turn of the Century
This Liber Amicorum in Honour of Professor Roger Blanpain was presented to the Professor on the occasion of the 11th World Congress of the International Industrial Relations Association, held in Bologna, Italy, in September 1998. the more than forty contributions in this book vary as widely in topic as the vast range of books written by Professor Blanpain himself in the almost forty years of his academic career. Each contributor was given the freedom to write on a topic within the main field of Professor Blanpain's interest: labour law and industrial relations. the result is a unique collection of essays by some of the greatest names in that field, from an examination of national and regional developments to an analysis of conceptual problems and global issues. It is a work worthy to be dedicated to one of the greatest academics of the 20th century in the field of labour law.
European Labour Law
The vast single labour market of the European Union continues to manifest an ever-increasing interdependence of economies, companies, trade unions and employees, calling once again for an update of Roger Blanpain's magisterial European Labour Law. This Fourteenth Edition remains the preeminent practice guide in its field, covering the full spectrum - legislation, collective agreements, and more than 400 cases - of both individual and collective labour law and practice from the fundamental freedoms to the significance of the Reform Treaty of Lisbon. Among the abundant new material in the Fourteenth Edition the reader will find incisive commentary and analysis of such issues and trends.
The Role of the Court of Justice in EU Labour Law
In an unresolved ongoing debate, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) is often included among the institutional actors responsible for the declining condition of labour law in Europe. Has its case law been more protective of employers’ interests than of workers’ rights? This innovative book greatly enhances the discussion by bringing to light the judicial lawmaking logic, other than those pertaining to the balancing of social and business values, that drive the CJEU’s reasoning in its interpretation of the labour law provisions enshrined in the European Union (EU) law, with particular attention to the directive on transfer of undertakings. Addressing fundamental issues –...
Managers in European Law
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...
Employment and Vulnerabilities in the World of Orchestral Musicians: Symphonic Metamorphoses
The state subsidies and philanthropy that traditionally allowed orchestras to flourish have greatly diminished in the wake of recent financial crises and the COVID-19 pandemic. As in other fields affected by the precarious labor arrangements prevalent in the world of work today, it is the employees and freelancers—in this case, the musicians themselves—who suffer most. In this deeply knowledgeable and provocative book, a highly acclaimed scholar who combines the roles of law professor, music journalist, and orchestral violinist presents the first major legal study to focus on labor relations and the institutional dynamics at play within orchestras. Drawing on personal interviews with mor...
Game Changers in Labour Law
The renowned international labour law scholars contributing to this incomparable volume use the term ‘game changers’ to refer to evolutions, concepts, ideas and challenges that are having, or have had, major impacts on how we must understand and approach labour law in today’s global economy. The volume derives from an international conference organized by the Institute for Labour Law at the University of Leuven, Belgium in November 2017. This initiative is pursued in the spirit and with the methods of the late Emeritus Professor Roger Blanpain (1932–2016), a great reformer who continuously searched for key challenges in the world of work and looked as far as possible into the future,...
