Industrial Relations Law Across the World. Current legal frameworks and trends (Wolters Kluwer, August 2017)

“Industrial Relations Law across the World” came to be thanks to the work carried out by a dozen of professional experts from various countries, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the firm. The volume, published by Wolters Kluwer and coordinated by De Luca & Partners, analyses the current frameworks and trends that are changing the world of industrial relations.

The picture emerging from this research is that of an increasingly competitive scenario, where economic turmoil and the upcoming “industry 4.0” revolution are driving legislators in search for new paths in labour law to increase productivity, especially through greater flexibility in contracts and a common trend to decentralize collective bargaining towards new models of social dialog.
