Details

This collection addresses the potential of the European Social Charter to promote and safeguard social rights in the European Union.

Drawing on the expertise of Transnational Trade Union Rights members from across Europe, it provides a comprehensive commentary on these fundamental rights. Taking a two part approach, it offers a new legal analysis of the role of the Council of Europe and the Secretary of the European Committee of Social Rights in the promotion of social and workers' rights. This examination is timely, given the pressure exerted on those rights during the recent period of economic crisis. Furthermore, in the light of the predominantly economic vision of Europe, such analysis is crucial.

The collection will stimulate academic scrutiny and raise awareness amongst practitioners and trade unions about the necessary anchor of the social dimension of the European Union in legal and political practice.
