The course is divided into two parts.
The first part focuses on the law of collective labour relationships. Topics include freedom of association, trade unions and employers associations, workers'participation, conclusions and effects of collective bargaining agreements as well as their situation within the hierarchy of norms, and industrial disputes.
The second part is devoted to individual labour law, that constitutes the second branch of labour law. Conclusion, enforcement and dissolution of the contract of employment are mainly examined.
