The labour-environment nexus: Exploring new frontiers in labour law
By Kalina Arabadjieva, et. al. - European Trade Union Institute, October 30, 2023
The contribution of legal scholars to deconstructing the idea of labour as nature’s other and debates on the alleged conflict between the interests of workers and the environment are becoming increasingly important. Environmental problems have never been foregrounded by labour lawyers to the extent they have in the last few years. Among other events, ETUI and Aix-Marseille University organised an international symposium in October 2022 bringing together labour law scholars to reflect on the complex relationship between labour and the environment, in an attempt to elaborate normative and institutional patterns for convergence in the protection of both dimensions.
Many of the papers presented at the symposium have recently been published in a special issue of the International Journal of Comparative Labour Law and Industrial Relations, with the title ‘The labour-environment nexus: Exploring new frontiers in labour law.’ The aim of this ETUI webinar is to present some of the main findings of the contributions to the issue and the arguments they advance, and to reflect in particular on their implications for trade unions and industrial relations institutions.
