Met de diptiek “Omtrent behoorlijk bestuur van collectieve arbeidsverhoudingen” brengen de auteurs hulde aan het werk en aan de wetenschappelijke inzet van de voormalige administrateur-generaal van de FOD Werkgelegenheid, Arbeid en Sociaal Overleg, Jan Rombouts.

This book gives an overall picture of Belgian employment law Unlike the majority of the other European countries, Belgium distinguishes between blue-collar and white-collar workers. Furthermore it is easier to fire an employee in Belgium than in most EU-Member States. An employer does not need any form of external approval.

In this work the author tries to uncover the parameters the labour legislators used in the development of labour protection. He formulates a number of theses that allow him to establish a theory of labour law. The themes dealt with in this work fit in an overall vision on labour in its relation with capital as dealt with in law.

In dit werk poogt de auteur de krachtlijnen bloot te leggen die de arbeidswetgever hebben geleid bij de uitwerking van de arbeidsbescherming.
