Course unit content
The course covers the main legal institutions of trade unions and employment relationship law. Particular attention is given to the public sector and the different contractual models for the employment of the labour force.
The course is divided into three parts. The first focuses on the Italian and European sources governing the employment relationship and industrial relations, with particular attention to the role played by collective agreements, both in the private and in the public sector. The structure, function and powers of workers’ representations within the company are analyzed.
