A Key to Comparative Labour Law in Europe

by Antoine T.J.M. Jacobs

About this book

Antoine T.J.M. Jacobs provides a framework for comparing labour law across European countries. The book begins with the history, purposes and sources of employment law before explaining differences in legal concepts and institutional arrangements.

Chapters cover employment contracts, wages, working hours, health and safety, dismissal, trade unions, collective bargaining and employee participation. An extensive subject index helps readers follow a particular issue through different parts of the book. The comparative focus makes this a distinct companion to guides concerned primarily with European Union institutions.
