Learning unit contents
Droit du travail
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.
Droit de la sécurité sociale
The course focuses on social security law. It introduces the organisation and characteristics of general social security schemes, the general rules governing the social status of employed persons and the rules governing litigation. It also gives an overview of certain social security benefits granted to socially insured persons (unemployment insurance, compensation for accidents at work, family benefits, living wage).
