Summary
Collective frameworks and fundamental rights of individual employment
The labour law governing the labour markets of the capitalist economies of Western Europe was shaped by collective organisations of labour and capital. More or less legal support, obstruction or repression was the lot of the collective actors, the processes of collective bargaining and the outcomes in the form of collective agreements, depending on the different political and economic trajectories of the nation states of Europe. The extent to which and the methods by which individual employment in the states of Europe was shaped by these collective actors differed as well. The labour law which articulated regulation of individual employment by collective organisations of labour and capital reflected these differences.
Similarly, the labour law of the EU has developed its own specific trajectory and consequent approach to collective principles and rights in the capitalist economy of the single European market. The labour law of the EU evolved following its own trajectory, and it too has produced its own singular approach to regulation of individual employment in a collective framework.
This collective framework reflects the general quality of European labour law, combining the variety of national experience in the EU Member States with the unique qualities of the new legal order of Community law.
A collective framework with a variety of models
European labour law has developed a collective framework for regulation of individual employment, but this appears in a variety of models.
