This contribution examines the inadmissibility of a preliminary reference order submitted by the Court of Padua, Italy to the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). The case involved the suspension of a worker, who, while legally obliged, declined to have the Covid-19 vaccine. The Italian court temporarily halted proceedings initiated by the worker's appeal. The author provides a comprehensive analysis facts of the case, the applicable national legislation, and the content of the preliminary reference order. The order scrutinised the compatibility of the conditional authorisation issued by the European Commission for the release of vaccines in circulation at that time. Additionally, it explored potential discrimination against workers who, by refusing vaccination, faced suspension from work without pay, as per explicit legal provisions. The contribution concludes by addressing the specific details of the inadmissibility ruling from the CJEU. Case: Judgment of the Court (Second Chamber) of 13 July 2023. D. M. v Azienda Ospedale-Università di Padova. Request for a preliminary ruling from the Tribunale Ordinario di Padova. Reference for a preliminary ruling – Public health – National legislation imposing a vaccination obligation on health professionals – Suspension from duty without pay for personnel refusing the vaccine – Regulation (EC) No 726/2004 – Medicinal products for human use – Vaccines against Covid-19 – Regulation (EC) No 507/2006 – Validity of conditional marketing authorisations – Regulation (EU) 2021/953 – Prohibition of discrimination between vaccinated and unvaccinated persons – Inadmissibility.

EU social dialogue revitalisation: Between rhetoric, new rights, political commitments and historical caution 欧盟社会对话的振兴:在言辞、新权利、政治承诺和历史谨慎之间

The Council Recommendation on strengthening social dialogue is a positive recognition of the key role of social dialogue in the EU's social market economy. At the same time, episodes of institutional disfavour of the social partners’ co-determination role and resistance to robust sectoral collective bargaining warrant a cautious assessment. This article looks at the current state of EU social dialogue, examining its primary dimensions: the involvement of social partners in policymaking and the scope of collective bargaining. It assesses the Council Recommendation, along with other measures adopted during the Von der Leyen presidency, to ascertain their collective contribution in realigning EU social dialogue with the principles of the EU Treaties. Overall, the analysis reveals a nuanced picture, with both positive and challenging aspects. While collective bargaining has been given a new (albeit partial) boost, the same cannot be said for the social partners’ participation in EU policymaking. Notably, the Council Recommendation reaffirmed the Court of Justice's decision in the EPSU case, solidifying the Commission's discretionary authority to decide on the legislative implementation of framework agreements, to the detriment of the social partners’ regulatory agency. Finally, the article proposes a blueprint for further advancing the EU's aspiration for social dialogue, seeking to reconciling it with the social objectives that, constitutionally, the Union aspires to achieve.
理事会关于加强社会对话的建议是对社会对话在欧盟社会市场经济中的关键作用的积极认可。与此同时,一些机构对社会伙伴的共同决定作用的不赞成,以及对强有力的部门集体谈判的抵制,也值得我们谨慎评估。本文探讨了欧盟社会对话的现状,研究了其主要方面:社会伙伴参与决策和集体谈判的范围。文章评估了理事会建议书以及冯德莱恩担任主席国期间采取的其他措施,以确定它们在使欧盟社会对话与欧盟条约原则保持一致方面的集体贡献。总体而言,分析揭示了一幅微妙的图景,既有积极的一面,也有具有挑战性的一面。虽然集体谈判得到了新的(尽管是部分的)推动,但社会伙伴参与欧盟决策的情况却并非如此。值得注意的是,理事会建议重申了法院在 EPSU 案件中的裁决,巩固了欧盟委员会决定框架协议立法实施的自由裁量权,损害了社会合作伙伴的监管机构。最后,文章提出了进一步推进欧盟社会对话愿望的蓝图,力图使其与宪法规定的欧盟希望实现的社会目标相协调。

Cross-border telework and the applicable labour law: The role of different connecting factors in determining objectively applicable law 跨境远程工作和适用的劳动法:不同关联因素在确定客观适用法律中的作用
IF 0.7 Pub Date : 2024-05-15 DOI: 10.1177/20319525241251435

In the case of cross-border employment, the applicable law is determined mainly according to habitual place of work. If this factor cannot be clarified, the engaging place of business of the employer determines the applicable law. Both factors can be set aside if the relationship is more closely connected to some other country. Telework is performed outside the employers’ premises, and the determination of the exact workplace can be difficult. This again complicates the determination of the applicable law in cross-border cases. This article analyses how, in the case of cross-border telework, the applicable law should be determined. It is argued that the exact system depends on the type of telework. If telework is performed in one country abroad, the habitual place of work determines the applicable law. If teleworker has at least two offices or manages his own working time, the second connecting factor applies. As the determination of the applicable law according to the engaging place of business is not considered to be sufficiently employee-protective, escape clause should be emphasised in the second case to guarantee the best employment protection to the employee.
在跨境就业的情况下,适用法律主要根据惯常工作地确定。如果这一因素无法明确,则由雇主的营业地决定适用法律。如果与其他国家的关系更为密切,则可将这两个因素放在一边。远程工作是在雇主的办公场所之外进行的,因此很难确定确切的工作场所。这再次使跨境案件中适用法律的确定变得复杂。本文分析了在跨境远程工作的情况下应如何确定适用法律。本文认为,确切的制度取决于远程工作的类型。如果远程工作在国外的一个国家进行,则由惯常工作地决定适用法律。如果远程工作人员至少有两个办事处或管理自己的工作时间,则适用第二个关联因素。由于根据营业地确定适用法律被认为不足以保护雇员,因此在第二种情况下应强调免责条款,以保证为雇员提供最佳就业保护。

This article provides an overview of the legislation on the status and working conditions of the different categories of non-professional magistrates, as utilised by the judiciary administration of European Member States. In this regard, a distinction is made between ‘lay judges’, non-professional judges cooperating in a judicial process on the basis of their perspective as normal citizens, and ‘honorary judges’, who cooperate in the adjudication with their specialist knowledge and experiences. Through the lens of the CJEU's ruling in UX, the article also provides an insight into whether, on the basis of the reported legislation, any particular category of honorary judges is susceptible of falling within the European concept of ‘worker’.
本文概述了欧洲成员国司法行政部门使用的有关不同类别非专业治安法官的地位和工作条件的立法。在这方面,本文对 "非专业法官 "和 "荣誉法官 "进行了区分。"非专业法官 "是指以普通公民身份参与司法程序的非专业法官,而 "荣誉法官 "则是指以专业知识和经验参与裁决的非专业法官。通过欧盟法院在 UX 案中的裁决,文章还深入探讨了根据所报告的立法,是否有任何特定类别的荣誉法官可能属于欧洲 "工作者 "概念的范畴。

Not Delivering: the UK ‘worker’ concept before the UK Supreme Court in Deliveroo - IWGB v CAC and another [2023] UKSC 43 不送货:英国最高法院在 Deliveroo 案中对英国 "工人 "概念的审理 - IWGB 诉 CAC 及另一方 [2023] UKSC 43

The present article offers an analysis of some key aspects of the UK Supreme Court (SC) Deliveroo judgment. After a short description of some of the facts and findings of the case, the article argues that the Supreme Court may have actually misconstrued the personal scope of application of Article 11 ECHR and, like the other domestic jurisdictions before, misapplied the law (and the concept of ‘employment relationship’ deployed by the ECtHR) to the facts of this case. While the SC judgment did not expressly elaborate on the domestic ‘worker’ definition contained in s. 296 TULRCA 1992, the article explores the extent to which the Deliveroo saga has incorrectly construed this concept, embracing a very narrow concept of ‘personal work’ that neither the statutory wording itself nor the context in which it was applied arguably support. Finally, the concluding section of this article offers an alternative approach to the legal construction and legal regulation of ‘personal work’, one that is already emerging in other jurisdictions and that should underpin any future reform of the personal scope of application of UK, but also EU labour law - a reform, the article concludes, that is long overdue.
本文分析了英国最高法院(SC)对 Deliveroo 判决的一些关键方面。在简短描述了案件的部分事实和调查结果后,文章认为最高法院实际上可能误解了《欧洲人权公约》第 11 条的个人适用范围,并且与之前的其他国内司法机构一样,将法律(以及欧洲人权法院采用的 "雇佣关系 "概念)错误地适用于本案的事实。虽然最高法院的判决并未明确阐述《1992 年土耳其劳资关系法》第 296 条所包含的家庭 "工人 "定义,但本文探讨了 Deliveroo 案在多大程度上错误地解释了这一概念,包含了一个非常狭义的 "个人工作 "概念,而这一概念无论是从法律措辞本身还是从其适用的背景来看,都不可能得到支持。最后,本文的结论部分为 "个人工作 "的法律构建和法律监管提供了另一种方法,这种方法已经在其他司法管辖区出现,并且应该成为未来英国以及欧盟劳动法个人适用范围改革的基础--本文的结论是,这种改革早就应该进行了。

Before, after and beyond the Matzak case: Overview of the Belgian jurisprudence 马扎克案之前、之后和之后:比利时判例概述

The Matzak case, a landmark ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), challenged traditional understandings of working time and rest periods, particularly for volunteer firefighters in Belgium. Despite earlier cases before Belgian courts, the Matzak decision brought significant shifts in jurisprudence, influencing how volunteers were categorised and how stand-by time was interpreted. This article examines the impact of the Matzak judgment on Belgian case law, tracing its evolution from pre- Matzak rulings to post-decision interpretations. Analysing decisions from the Court of Cassation and the Constitutional Court, the study explores the redefinition of volunteers as employees and the qualification of stand-by time as working time. The reluctance of Belgian courts to adapt their views on stand-by duty prior to Matzak is highlighted, with persistent adherence to principles established in the Simap case. However, the Matzak ruling prompted questions about the treatment of voluntary firefighters and the adequacy of legal distinctions. Despite initial resistance, subsequent cases challenged previous interpretations, leading to clarifications by the Court of Cassation. Ambiguities remain, as seen in the Simon case, raising concerns about consistent application of Matzak jurisprudence. The unique status of voluntary firefighters in Belgium presents challenges, as they operate in a legal grey area with regards to rights and working conditions. Municipalities are urged to regulate their working time in the absence of general legislation. Nonetheless, the recognition of firefighters as workers by the CJEU offers promise for their legal standing under EU law. Increasing recognition of comparability between volunteers and professionals suggests a move towards more equitable treatment. Looking beyond Matzak, the article explores implications for the evolving digital workplace, where boundaries between work and personal time blur. The Matzak principle, which introduces objective limitations on devotion to personal and social interests, offers a framework for addressing these challenges. By considering potential applications in the digital realm, the article emphasises the importance of protecting worker well-being and rest periods, consistent with the objectives of the Working Time Directive. In conclusion, the Matzak case has had a significant impact on Belgian jurisprudence regarding the working time of volunteer firefighters and the adjudication of stand-by periods. While challenges and ambiguities persist, the ruling has spurred a reassessment of legal frameworks and encouraged greater recognition of the rights of volunteer workers. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, the Matzak principle provides a valuable tool for navigating complex issues of work-life balance and ensuring the protection of workers’ rights.
Matzak 案是欧盟法院(CJEU)做出的一项具有里程碑意义的裁决,它对工作时间和休息时间的传统理解提出了挑战,尤其是对比利时的志愿消防员而言。尽管比利时法院此前曾受理过一些案件,但 Matzak 案的裁决还是给判例带来了重大转变,影响了志愿者的分类和待命时间的解释。本文探讨了马扎克判决对比利时判例法的影响,追溯了从马扎克判决前的裁决到判决后的解释的演变过程。通过分析最高上诉法院和宪法法院的判决,本研究探讨了将志愿者重新定义为雇员以及将待命时间定性为工作时间的问题。研究强调了比利时法院在 Matzak 案之前不愿调整其对待岗时间的看法,而是坚持 Simap 案中确立的原则。然而,Matzak 案的裁决引发了对志愿消防员待遇和法律区分是否适当的质疑。尽管最初遇到了阻力,但随后的案件对以前的解释提出了质疑,导致最高上诉法院做出了澄清。从 Simon 案中可以看出,模棱两可的情况依然存在,这引起了人们对 Matzak 判例是否适用一致的担忧。比利时志愿消防员的特殊地位带来了挑战,因为他们在权利和工作条件方面处于法律灰色地带。在没有一般性立法的情况下,市政当局被敦促对他们的工作时间进行管理。尽管如此,欧盟法院(CJEU)承认消防员是工人,这为他们在欧盟法律下的法律地位带来了希望。越来越多的人认识到志愿者与专业人员之间的可比性,这表明他们正朝着更公平的待遇迈进。在马扎克原则之外,文章还探讨了不断发展的数字工作场所的影响,在这种工作场所中,工作与个人时间的界限变得模糊。马扎克原则对个人和社会利益的奉献做出了客观限制,为应对这些挑战提供了一个框架。通过考虑在数字领域的潜在应用,文章强调了保护工人福利和休息时间的重要性,这与《工作时间指令》的目标是一致的。总之,Matzak 案对比利时有关志愿消防员工作时间和待命时间裁决的判例产生了重大影响。虽然挑战和模糊之处依然存在,但该裁决促使人们重新评估法律框架,并鼓励人们进一步承认志愿工作者的权利。随着数字环境的不断发展,马扎克原则为解决复杂的工作与生活平衡问题和确保工人权利得到保护提供了宝贵的工具。

This contribution looks at the status of volunteers in EU labour law taking into account the criteria of the CJEU's Lawrie-Blum formula. It demonstrates, in light of the jurisprudence of the Court, that some criteria may be problematic and that a purposive approach may provide adequate solutions.

The legal classification of volunteers: A cross-European case law comparison 志愿者的法律分类:跨欧洲判例法比较

This contribution provides a structural analysis of the case law of national courts in the EU, EEA and UK confronted with questions on the classification of volunteers. It explores the criteria and rationales used by courts to decide whether workers hired as volunteers should be reclassified as employees. These are put into perspective by reference to more recent evolutions of court approaches to employee status, particularly in the context of the platform economy. Given the societal relevance of voluntary work, a particular focus lies on the question of whether the operation of volunteer organisations might face challenges due to the tendency to broadening the concept of worker.
本文对欧盟、欧洲经济区(EEA)和英国国家法院在面对志愿者分类问题时的判例法进行了结构性分析。它探讨了法院在决定是否应将作为志愿者雇用的工人重新归类为雇员时所使用的标准和依据。通过参考法院对雇员身份的处理方法的最新演变,特别是在平台经济的背景下,对这些标准和理由进行了透视。鉴于志愿工作的社会相关性,一个特别的重点在于志愿组织的运作是否会因扩大工人概念的趋势而面临挑战。
