COURSE DESCRIPTION
Course content

Through the basic historical framework of European integration, the aim is to analyse and clarify the evolution of the freedom of movement of workers on the common market into the system of European labor law (free movement of workers), to clarify the concept of workers and to determine the freedom of movement of workers in the context of the direct effect of the relevant articles of the TFEU. The freedom of movement of workers will be analyzed in the light of the European Stabilization and Association Agreements, as well as earlier forms of these agreements. Special attention will be paid to practical examples of worker mobility from one EU member state to another EU member state, discrimination in the context of freedom of movement of workers and employment, the right to establish a business and the freedom to provide services, as well as the freedom of movement of workers through the prism of protection of public order, public security and public of health (derogation). The subject will investigate access to employment and the prohibition of discrimination with regard to working conditions, compensation for work and dismissal, and will also discuss the techniques of applying European labor law (administrative application through the Commission; the importance of "social clauses", the role of social partners, the development of legal responsibility for violations of European labor law), individual employment contracts (individual labor law), protection of health, safety and working conditions, risk groups of workers, protection of motherhood in European labor law, dismissals and topics for which doctoral students show a special interest (topics in agreement with participants related to their scientific and professional profile, research interests, topics of introductory research seminars, scientific articles or doctoral theses.
