Labour Law In Italy

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on Italy 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 Italy, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative trends in laws affecting labour and labour relations.

This book covers the principles of Labour Law and Industrial Relations in Italy in a broad sense. After a General Introduction covering the general features, historical background and definitions, the book goes on to discuss the sources of labour law and indutrial relations, and the organs instrumental in forming policy, such as governmental institutions. The main body of the work is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the individual employment relationship and discusses, among other things, labour contracts, the rights and duties of employees, and remuneration and benefits. The second part deals with collective labour relations, and focuses on trade unions rights, collective bargaining and industrial conflict.

This volume includes a number of papers written in English and published in the last fifteen years in which the Italian labour market faced many changes. The book not only provides the international readership with a frame of reference – in both conceptual and legal terms – that helps to appreciate the Italian Labour Law currently in force, but also represents a contribution to moving beyond the self-referential nature of the Italian debate on the reform of labour laws. As such, the book supplies the reform process of the Italian labour market with an international and comparative dimension which – in accordance with the programmatic approach of Marco Biagi – will also feed the debate at the national level.
