Teaching methods
Frontal classes will be supported by the analysis of practical cases realized with an active involvement of students and by meetings with professionals operating in the labour market (labour consultants, lawyers, judges, trade union officers, managers). With the cooperation of Cosp (Centre for the orientation in studies and professions) offices of the University, the possibility to participate to internships will be proposed, with an explanation of the respective discipline.
Teaching Resources
The proposed manual is A. Tursi-P.A. Varesi, Istituzioni di diritto del lavoro (rapporti di lavoro e relazioni sindacali nel settore privato), latest edition.
The study of the reference book must be combined with a meticulous direct learning of the provisions of the Constitution, of the Civil Code and of special laws analysed during lessons and in the manual. To this aim, students are required to utilize an updated collection of the main documentary sources of Labour Law. It's possible to find several collections of law and regulations concerning Labour Law, i.e. M.T. Carinci (eds), Labour Code, Giuffrè, Milan, latest edition.
