Learning unit contents
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. Special attention is also being paid to the so said "laws of work regulation" (protection of the remuneration, working time, etc) that determine the legal status of the relationship between the employer and the employee.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of the course, students must have mastered with essential theorical and pratical knowledge allowing further independant study with a view to mastering labour law. Students are especially required to get used to reading laws and other norms, and to bringing out their meaning.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Subject to the evolution of the covid-19 pandemic, the course is given as follows:
- alternating between face-to-face and distance learning courses every other week.
- questions will be asked via Wooclap to support the attention of students taking the online course
- parts of the subject matter must be prepared by the students and will only be subject to question and answer sessions
- Exercise sessions will be given in person or at a distance.
- a forum is made available to students on eCampus (see eCampus user charter)
- There will be a stand-by service for students to ask questions about the course.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
For the course: the course is given both face-to-face and on the platform "collaborate" . Given the number of students present in the lecture hall, it should remain possible to continue this formula even in code orange, unless the Rector decides otherwise.
For the exam: written examination on eCampus.
