Course Contents
The course aims to reconstruct the role of labour law as an engine for the development of the territory, not only in economic terms but also from a social and environmental point of view. The lessons are organised into three thematic areas dedicated to the main players involved in this process, of a public, private and trade union nature (public administration, local authorities, social and health facilities; private companies and third sector entities; trade unions and trade associations). On the one hand, the course will analyse the network of exchanges and virtuous relations for the welfare of the community involving some of these protagonists, especially through collective bargaining. On the other hand, the course will reconstruct the set of rules that guides the conduct of labour relations, in order to provide students with in-depth knowledge of the internal workings of these actors, also in terms of human resources management.
