Labour and social regulation
Labour and social regulation covers the legal framework and fundamental social rights that regulates industrial relations, employment and social policies across Europe. It includes national, EU and international legislation. Union labour law has a direct or indirect impact on the normative and functional frameworks of individual and collective labour law systems of the Member States in a relationship of mutual interference and interaction. Increasingly Union labour laws are also shaped by agreements that the parties voluntarily enter into and by soft law mechanisms. The reform or modernising of labour law is currently high on the agenda in several Member States.
