Summary

This collection of essays by an internationally distinguished group of writers takes stock of what Community labour law has amounted to so far and what its directions in the future should be. It covers the foundations of EC labour law, the principal actors and the implementation of policies in such fields as health and safety, discrimination, employment, immigration and the Social Fund. The essays are written in honour of Professor Lord Weddebaum of Charlton, the distinguished labour lawyer and doyen of comparative labour law studies.
