Sinopsis

The challenge of defining and developing an effective structure of fundamental social rights for workers has long been a focus for debate at European level. Even before the emergence of the 1989 Charter of Fundamental Social Rights of Workers, proposals were being made to incorporate 'fundamental rights' provisions into the Treaties establishing the European Communities. So, too, was interest in the creation of a distinctively European protective 'floor of rights' for workers. Consequently, when a distinguished Comité des Sages produced its 1996 report For a Europe of Civic and Social Rights, the stage was set for intensive debate as to the way forward.

Reseña del editor

A consideration of one of the most important questions that an employment judge could be asked - namely, to identify the fundamental rights of workers. The book is the result of a conference on the subject, and contains input from employment judges from the Member States of the European Union and also from members of the European Economic Area. The result is a synthesis of the views of all these different people. Although the traditions and experience of judges from different countries are very different, their views of what is just and what is "fundamental" are very similar. This demonstrates that there is a common European experience, possibly even a common universal experience, of what is and is not "just". The results are by no means complete, but hope to amount to a framework from which some European Declaration could emerge which would not just be a pious aspiration but a genuine statement of principle with which all true Europeans would agree.
