This new edition provides a distinctively broad-based approach to EU Employment Law, covering related social policy and anti-discrimination measures, as well as a detailed overview of how policy and law are made. It analyses in detail EU legislation and case law in the areas of collective and individual employment rights, including redundancies, transfers of undertakings, working time, part-time and fixed term and temporary employment. The author further considers the important provisions and case-law concerning equality of treatment on the basis of gender, race, age, disability and religion. EU Social and Employment Law offers essential expertise in this important and fast changing area of European Law.
