No one denies that the institution of collective bargaining between workers and employers has been a powerful tool for social dialogue. Without our history of effective collective bargaining there would be no mutual understanding, no industrial peace, no constructive cooperation between social partners. Yet there is a feeling today that this history has drawn to a close; that our post-industrial world demands something different, something our tradition of collective bargaining and collective agreements cannot give us. What information and insight can we gather to verify or challenge this feeling? This was the first major question addressed by the distinguished delegates to the twenty-seventh World Congress of Labour and Social Security Law held at Montevideo, 2'5 September 2003. The aim of the conference was to discover current problems regarding the existing structures and functions of collective bargaining in industrialized countries today'problems readily identifiable in the context of economic globalization, falling union density, the increase in atypical and knowledge-based workers, and the 'tertiarization' or declining economic importance of manufacturing-based industry. This bulletin contains some of the most important papers devoted to this major theme of the conference. It presents twenty national reports, each written by a scholar well-versed in the law and practice of collective bargaining in the country covered. Two introductory reports deal with such general issues as the varying competences of representatives under different legal systems, labor union representation within the public sector, the development of collective bargaining in EC law, the levels and structures of collective bargaining practice, and the widening gap between the relevant legal norms and real situations. The national reports were drafted on the basis of a questionnaire, which appears as an annex. This allows the reader to easily compare the solutions set forth for consideration in the various countries under review. The Actors of Collective Bargaining will be of great value for all practitioners and academics in the field of industrial relations.

The gig economy, precarious work, and nonstandard employment have forced labor law scholars to rethink their discipline. Classical remedies for unequal power, capabilities approaches, "third way" market regulation, and laissez-faire all now vie for attention - at least in English. Despite a deep history of labor activism, Latin American scholarship has had scant presence in these debates. This book introduces to an English-language audience another approach: principled labor law, based on Latin American perspectives, using a jurisprudential method focused on worker protection. The authors apply this methodology to the least likely case of labor-protective jurisprudence in the industrialized world: the United States. In doing so, Gamonal and Rosado focus on the Thirteenth Amendment as a labor-protective constitutional provision, the National Labor Relations Act, and the Fair Labor Standards Act. This book shows how principled labor law can provide a clear and simple method for consistent, labor-protective jurisprudence in the United States and beyond.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on Spain not only describes and analyses the legal aspects of labour relations, but also examines labour relations practices and developing trends. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting. Both individual and collective labour relations are covered in ample detail, with attention to such underlying and pervasive factors as employment contracts, suspension of the contracts, dismissal laws and covenant of non-competition, as well as international private law. The author describes all important details of the law governing hours and wages, benefits, intellectual property implications, trade union activity, employers’ associations, workers’ participation, collective bargaining, industrial disputes, and much more. Building on a clear overview of labour law and labour relations, the book offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. It will find a ready readership among lawyers representing parties with interests in Spain, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative trends in laws affecting labour and labour relations.

La Apología Para los estudiosos del Derecho, la Apología de Sócrates, escrita por Platón diez años después de su muerte, es una obra ineludible es uno de los textos obligados del curso de Seminario de Cultura Jurídica que se imparte en las escuelas de Derecho de las universidades mexicanas. La lectura de los clásicos siempre ha sido dificultosa para los jóvenes, entre otras razones por la diversidad del lenguaje y lo pasivo del proceso de lectura. En la búsqueda de nuevas estrategias de aprendizaje, he adaptado dicha obra para una lectura coral por grupos de hasta veinte alumnos. Además de sistematizar en temas específicos, abordados por Sócrates frente el tribunal ateniense en 399 antes de Cristo, En la práctica esta estrategia de lectura ha resultado interesante para los alumnos de primer nivel del programa de Derecho de la Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez, porque les permite apoderarse de la obra, organizarse para su presentación, y generar una actividad más dinámica, concordante con la energía de los jóvenes. Para este trabajo he usado la siguiente fuente; La apología de Editorial Virtual, Arg, BUENOS AIRES 2004, visible en el siguiente URL http: //www.laeditorialvirtual.com.ar/pages/platon/platon_apologiasocrates.htm.

Respondiendo al rasgo estructural del incesante cambio normativo que experimenta el Derecho del Trabajo -notoriamente acentuado en la fase de crisis económica aguda que algunos países atraviesan desde 2008-, la segunda edición de esta obra revisa y actualiza el contenido de la anterior, incorporando y estudiando las principales modificaciones habidas en el ordenamiento laboral desde que la precedente se cerrara hasta el 31 de julio de 2013, lo que incluye no sólo la producción normativa más señera, sino también su aplicación judicial. Entre las novedades legislativas de mayor relieve objeto de sistematización y análisis figuran el Real Decreto 1.483/2012, por el que se aprueban los procedimientos de despido colectivo y de suspensión de contratos y reducción de jornada; el Real Decreto 1.484/2012, sobre las aportaciones económicas a realizar por las empresas con beneficios económicos que lleven a cabo despidos colectivos de trabajadores con cincuenta o más años (ambas dictadas en desarrollo de la Ley 3/2012); el Real Decreto-Ley 4/2013, de medidas de apoyo al emprendedor y de estímulo del crecimiento y de la creación de empleo, gran parte de cuyo contenido se vierte en la Ley 11/2013, también recogida, y el Real Decreto-Ley 5/2013, de medidas para favorecer la continuidad de la vida laboral de los trabajadores de mayor edad y promover el envejecimiento activo.

No one can deny the significance attributed to the issue of reconciling work and private life by contemporary society, the EU and other international organisations. Its relevance is evident in the multifaceted nature of this topic and the need for each party to the employment contract to strike a proper balance between professional and personal responsibilities, based on the assumption that people can successfully harmonise their work with life. Following on from these considerations, this volume provides a detailed analysis of work-life balance and its regulation in a number of EU countries, emphasizing the consequences that the current economic crisis has brought about in this field.
