The Research of the Recent Jurisprudence of the ECtHR Related to Employment Law (2017-2021)

In recent years, the tendency of the European Court of Human Rights (ECt HR) to treat human rights as indivisible and consider cases relevant to employment has contributed significantly to jurisprudence relating to human rights at work in the Council of Europe. This indispensable book is the first to thoroughly survey and analyse recent ECt HR’s cases relevant to employment law. It is based on a deeply informed structural analysis of more than fifty cases considered by the ECt HR during 2017-2021, many of which have not heretofore been considered in the legal literature.The authors examine, in particular, the following topics raised in the jurisprudence of the ECt HR:privacy and surveillance;freedom of thought, conscience and religion;freedom of expression;discrimination;unfair dismissal;forced labour;collective bargaining; andthe right to strike.The authors explore the reasoning that led the ECt HR to broaden the scope of Article 8 ECHR, which protects the right to private life, in order to develop new employment rights. They also detail the impact of International Labour Organization (ILO) standards on the Court’s jurisprudence.As a clear and eminently useable guide to the applicability of ECHR for protection of labour rights and human rights at work, this book is of practical value to labour lawyers in spelling out the legal positions of the ECt HR which might support individual and collective labour rights protection in national proceedings. Academics in the field will appreciate the authors’ clarification of the trends of the ECt HR’s reasoning, especially in respect of the right to workplace privacy.
