"What is the legal culture and how does it influence the history of labour? The author proposes in this essay a beginning of a possible answer. Points of reference being the labour crossing the law in some crucial moments of history: during the phase of industrialization of national States and in the present post-industrial age of ri-commodification of labour in the global economy. The social and political condition that changes radically the contest is the dissolution of the political parties inspired by the Marxist ideology and the decline of trade unions: both having been promoter and guarantor of labour law. The new social and economic scenario obliges the legal culture of labour, and particularly the left-wing one, to ri-think the grounds of a legal order born to mend the world and not to rebuild it completely."

"Moving from the constitutional anomaly of the living union law and from the fact that this law is the outcome of a professional class of legal operators called to solve the problems of union pluralism after the Second World War, the Author rereads the path followed to achieve this conclusive assessment. Originally affected by the subordination of union dynamics to the logics of political parties, union pluralism is now reduced to a bunch of organisation patriotisms, as the constraints of such collateral bond no longer exist. This does not undermine the framework of constitutional rules that, despite tracing the path for union law, was not properly implemented: this goes to the detriment of the functioning of social representation of work, which means the relationship between the union and the workers."
