Overview

In a country where almost all employees in the public sector and about two-thirds of employees in the private sector are covered by collective agreements, labour law practice will necessarily appear quite different to a lawyer accustomed to most other European or North American traditions. Many issues which in other countries are handled by Acts of Parliament and public institutions are in Denmark transferred to private non-profit-making associations, often economically supported by the state. It is only secondarily that matters may be referred to two government institutions, the Labour Court or the Public Conciliation Service. The second edition of this convenient volume covers revisions of the Standard Rules for Handling Industrial Disputes, the amended (2008) Labour Court Act, and other recent legislation, as well as the continuing necessity of implementing European rules by statutory law. As in the earlier edition, the author expertly discusses the legally salient facets of contracts of employment, contracts for services, employee categories, remuneration and benefits, protection against discrimination in employment, covenants of non-competition, legal and illegal collective action, mediation proceedings, the competence of the Labour Court, and much more. Due attention is paid to the ways in which Danish labour law overlaps with such fields of practice as bankruptcy law, social security law, and the law on non-profit-making associations. This new edition of Labour Law in Denmark provides a clear overview of the field, and at the same time offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. It provides advocates and administrators, management and labour, and especially students, with an overview of all aspects of Danish labour law, and, to some extent, of its social, economic and political context.
