The objectives of the course are to provide students with basic knowledge of international and European labour law and to stimulate the acquisition of an awareness of the legal obligations arising from transnational labour relations. The reflections will focus on the condition in which companies find themselves operating in a globalised world in which the relocation of production processes has undoubted effects on labour relations.

With regard to international labour law, at the end of the course the student has acquired knowledge of international labour standards and the subjects covered by them; he/she has acquired their application and promotion as well as knowledge of the bodies responsible for their elaboration and the instruments necessary for their implementation. At the end of the course, the student possesses a thorough knowledge of international labour standards and is able to analyse legal institutes in the field of labour law with propriety of language and to consult EU and international regulatory sources for the resolution of complex situations. This knowledge is the basis for developing the analytical, research and critical skills required to deal with the various dimensions of labour law. The teaching aims to familiarise students with the functioning of the system of multilevel sources, international and supranational soft law sources, also focusing on the main organisations representing the interests of companies on a supranational scale and their logic of action. With regard to the teaching of EU labour law, the course will address the interventions of the European Union in social and labour matters with particular reference to the free movement of workers also with regard to European immigration policy.

All these activities are intended to encourage the involvement of the student, who is asked to intervene in the identification of regulatory instruments applicable to particular situations, through case studies or the participation of experts. The aim of the course is to encourage concrete and active interaction in order to refine and acquire the skills necessary to tackle the problems inherent in the subject, to know how to confront and support legal arguments, to know how to interpret and prepare legal documents, all indispensable skills for the professional figure of the jurist and labour consultant where one has opted for this pathway.
