Labour Law

The teaching aims to provide students with the basic notions of trade union law and to develop their knowledge of labour law, with specific reference to the discipline of the employment relationship.

As far as trade union law is concerned, the teaching aims to develop knowledge of the constitutional principles of trade union law, organisation and union action (collective bargaining) as well as forms of collective self-protection (strikes and lockouts), with reference to both private and public employment.

As far as labour law is concerned, the aim of the course is to provide students with knowledge of the main regulations governing the labour market and standard and non-standard employment contracts (fixed-term contracts, employment contracts, etc.) in relation to its various phases. The teaching aims to make students understand the rules of the contractual constitution of the employment relationship, the rules that govern the phase of development and those that govern its termination.

More specifically, the aim of the course is to provide students with the basic notions of trade union law and labour law so that they will be able to:
- acquire knowledge and understand the mechanisms underlying the employment relationship;
-apply this knowledge and understanding to the solution of legal and application problems;
- analyse, through their knowledge and skills, evaluate and comment in an informed and critical manner, with autonomy of judgement, on the main legal institutions;
- develop communication skills, participating with awareness and language skills in the debate proposed in the classroom on the legal issues that will be proposed by the teacher during the treatment of individual topics;
- develop their learning skills in line with their studies and other legal disciplines, establishing links with other areas with which labour law has an affinity (civil law).

At the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the legal profiles of the discipline of trade union law and labour law and have developed an adequate capacity to understand the evolution of the labour discipline and its main interpretative issues, enabling them to study the legal institutions with a high degree of autonomy.
- apply the acquired knowledge in the resolution of legal cases, demonstrating that he has acquired the method transmitted by the teacher in class;
- demonstrate sufficient argumentation and ownership of legal language to allow communication with specialist interlocutors;
- demonstrate, in the course of the lessons and the proficiency test, that they have acquired legally sound critical positions in relation to the subjects of the course.
