Course Title:
International Labour Law: Multinational Corporations in a Globalizing World
Course Number:
R_Int.lab.l
Course Description:
The impact of globalization of trade on labour law and the protection of workers’ rights is potentially vast. In order to present themselves as suitable places of establishment or production of goods and services, countries are tempted to compete on the price of labour. Labour law that covers all workers in the supply chain does not exist and the regular known methods of legislating are insufficient to deal with this issue. During this course this problem will be reviewed and developments in this area studied. Through a general introduction in international labour law students will be made familiar with the institutional framework of the International Labour Organization and the legal nature of international labour law (from both an international and regional perspective), and various legislative techniques, material aspects and the impact of international labour law on the domestic legal order of the member states.
