Aanbieding 1 met studiegidsnummer 4016132FNW voor werkstudenten in het 1e semester met een gespecialiseerd master niveau.
The course “European Labour and Employment Law” constitutes an introduction to the Employment Policy (Title IX TFEU) and Social Policy (Title IX) of the European Union. It also seeks to construe the impact of these and other European policies and underlying fundamental economic freedoms on the social acquis at national level. The connection with international law will also be addressed.
In its institutional part, the course deals with such topics as: the linking between European Union law and the labour law of the Member States through an analysis of primary law (cf. positive versus negative integration), the role of the Council of the European Union as ‘legislator’ often in co-operation with the European Parliament, the so-called social partners (European Social Dialogue) and the Court of Justice of the European Union; the legal force and the enforcement of European labour and employment law (cf. direct effect-doctrine); etc.
In its substantive part, the course deals with some selected issues of European labour and employment law taking into account relevant secondary EU law and case law of the CJEU. Examples include occupational health and safety, working time, atypical work, equal treatment in employment, etc. As suggested above, the objective of this course is therefore not to study the material labour law of the European Union in an indepth or exhaustive way.
The lectures are accompanied by group discussions, giving the student the opportunity to reflect critically on various topical issues. In preparation, the student analyses the material provided by the lecturer.
Active participation during the lectures is mandatory.
