An increasingly popular area of study within EC law, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to EC labour law. In particular, it will take account of developments since the Maastricht Treaty and the last Inter Governmental Conference. The book will cover all the main issues and areas of EC labour law, such as equal opportunities, individual employment law, health and safety issues, collective labour law, and worker participation and consultation. The particular strength of the book will be its clear focus on EC labour law, rather than social law in general, providing the reader with a far wider perspective on the subject.
