"Les risques psychosociaux au travail sont désormais l'objet de l'attention du législateur au sein des pays de l'Union européenne, mais à des degrés divers. Certains pays ont adapté des législations depuis un certain nombre d'années, d'autres ne s'y sont attelés que récemment. La portée et le recul sur ces textes sont aussi différents. le rôle du juge est ici essentiel. Cet ouvrage propose ainsi d'étudier les risques psychosociaux au prisme de la jurisprudence."

"Recent cases decided by the European Court of Justice have raised crucial issues regarding the scope for collective action in Europe. In this context, this collection of essays investigates treatment of the right to strike in seven Member States of the European Union: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Each national report examines how legal regulation seeks to address conflicting interests, namely those of employers, workers and the public at large. Each report also outlines the potential impact of EU jurisprudence in that country.
Striking the balance between domestic entitlements to take industrial action and the protection of EU fundamental freedoms is far from straightforward. The problem of balance is considered further in three supplementary essays. The first of these assesses the position of those engaged in or affected by collective action under conflict of law principles stated in Rome II. The second essay provides a comparative analysis of the constitutional status (or otherwise) of collective action. The volume ends with an essay which subjects to scrutiny the assumptions made by the European Court of Justice in the Viking and Laval judgments, which would seem to be questionable, in light of the national reports presented in this book."

"This report sets out to describe the potential occupational safety and health (OSH) risks that have been identified in relation to online platform work, to highlight the challenges for current regulatory approaches on OSH and to present examples of different approaches that are under way or being developed to meet these challenges. Given this, this report does not pretend to give a verdict on whether online platform work is ‘good' or ‘bad' and indeed it mentions, as well as the potential risks, the potential benefits, such as reducing the extent of undeclared work."

"The study set out to map best practices on work-life balance (WLB) agreements negotiated by social partners in 10 Member States: Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. The focus of the research was specifically on measures of work-life balance that enable parents and other people with caring responsibilities to reconcile work, family and private life, through the introduction of family and parental leave schemes, care arrangements, and the development of a working environment which facilitates the combination of work, family and private life for women and men.

While a European legislative framework and national legislation provide basic rights for parents to reconcile professional and private life, collective agreements have and will be important in providing much-needed additional rights tailored to specific constituencies. Moreover, collective agreements are important in ensuring the proper implementation of existing rights.

By highlighting good practices in 10 Member States, this study allows for an exchange of best practices across countries, sectors and companies."

"In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this commentary describes and compares shifting employment and occupational health social protections of low-wage workers, including self-employed digital platform workers. Through a focus on eight advanced economy countries, this paper identifies how employment misclassification and definitions of employees were handled in law and policy. Debates about minimum wage and occupational health and safety standards as they relate to worker well-being are considered. Finally, we discuss promising changes introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic that protect the health of low-wage and self-employed workers. Overall, we describe an ongoing “haves” and a “have not” divide, with on the one extreme, traditional job arrangements with good work-and-health social protections and, on the other extreme, low-wage and self-employed digital platform workers who are mostly left out of schemes. However, during the pandemic small and often temporary gains occurred and are discussed."

"La directive sur les salaires minimaux adéquats dans l'Union européenne, adoptée au mois d'octobre. constitue une petite révolution pour la législation sociale de l'Union européenne, qui, jamais auparavant, ne s'était saisie de la question des rémunérations. ou seulement accessoirement. Désormais. la situation des travailleurs pauvres n'est plus appréhendée par l'Union européenne comme une question touchant à la pauvreté, en général : elle relève du droit du travail de l'Union, dont les derniers développements marquent une rupture avec l'idee que la flexibilité est une bonne chose, pour les employeurs comme pour les travailleurs. …"
