Arbetsrätt och social reglering

Arbetslagstiftning och social lagstiftning omfattar den rättsliga ram och de grundläggande sociala rättigheter som reglerar arbetsmarknadsrelationer, sysselsättning och socialpolitik i hela Europa. Den omfattar nationell lagstiftning, EU-lagstiftning och internationell lagstiftning.  Unionens arbetsrätt har en direkt eller indirekt inverkan på de normativa och funktionella ramarna för medlemsstaternas individuella och kollektiva arbetsrättsliga system i ett förhållande av ömsesidig inblandning och interaktion.  Unionens arbetsrätt formas i allt högre grad också av avtal som parterna frivilligt ingår och av icke-bindande mekanismer.  Reformen eller moderniseringen av arbetsrätten står för närvarande högt upp på dagordningen i flera medlemsstater.

After #MeToo: Changes in sexual harassment policy at work
Sara Riso
The #MeToo movement, which began in 2017 with allegations of sexual harassment and assault in the entertainment industry, has brought significant attention to  sexual harassment, particularly as it affects working women. The #MeToo movement has sparked a broader discussion about the prevalence of sexual misconduct at work and has driven legislative changes in several countries. Based on information collected from Eurofound’s Network of European Correspondents, this article reviews the various approaches to addressing sexual harassment in EU Member States and highlights recent policy changes.

Workplace bullying, harassment and cyberbullying: Are regulations and policies fit for purpose?
Sara Riso

Over the last decade, information and communication technologies have changed the way employees work and communicate with each other. While the digitalisation of work offers many benefits, widespread access to digital devices in working life has created new forms of antisocial behaviour. This report maps national regulatory instruments aimed at counteracting antisocial behaviours at work, particularly bullying and harassment. Legislative reviews indicate that in many Member States online forms of abuse are often viewed as extensions of the traditional form of face-to-face bullying or harassment rather than as a distinct phenomenon requiring separate regulation. Some countries have amended existing legislation to include cyberbullying and online harassment. This report reviews to what extent such online conduct is regulated in EU Member States and Norway. As regulatory change is generally prompted by a certain level of policy debate, the report also explores national-level debates and whether there is empirical evidence documenting the issue or that potentially indicate a rise in the phenomenon.
