The course aims to provide students with some basic skills in labour law, useful for reconstructing its complex interactions with respect to the 'environmental issue'. After framing the good of the environment in the complex system of sources (between Constitution, law, collective bargaining and individual employment contract), the complex figure of the 'sustainable enterprise', which has emerged in recent years to combine economic, social and environmental objectives, will be analysed.
On this basis, the various institutions with which labour law can contribute to addressing the 'environmental issue' will be explored in more detail: remote working, working hours, corporate welfare, remuneration, occupational safety, dismissals for objective reasons, outplacement tools, vocational training, etc.

At the end of the course, the student will have basic labour law skills and be able to orientate himself among the complex interrelationships that occur between the environment, business and labour
