This book investigates whether one of the basic norms underlying
contemporary labor law in the EU - standard work has been subject to drastic
changes. Standard work, usually defined as full time permanent employment with a
single employer, has traditionally been the most common form of work structure,
and various legal obligations and protections are strongly associated with it.
However, standard work seems to have increasingly come under attack in recent
years. Dealing with some central concerns of contemporary labor law, the book
examines how far standard work continues to influence labor law structures in
several representative EU Member States. Claims that standard work is in severe
decline have been somewhat exaggerated, yet the influence of perceptions of the
decline of standard work needs to be examined. It asks whether EU Member States
are actively dismantling legal structures built up around standard work, and if
so, what is driving this, and what the effects of such changes might be. The
book addresses important questions such as: Do changes in standard work extend
labor law protections to a wider class of workers, or do they just leave more
workers unprotected? Do changes in standard work help address the charge that
basing labor law protections on standard work discriminates against certain
classes of workers?
