Course/Module description:
The relationship between an employer and an employee is subject to a unique and complex set of laws, which corresponds with the unique nature of this relationship: specifically, the fact that the relationship is contractual, but at the same time characterized by unequal bargaining power; and the fact that alongside the economic purpose, employment relationships also have enormous personal and social importance for the employee. The course will consider the way the law deals with this unique relationship, with individual employment laws as well as collective labour laws.
