Abstract

“Collective Conflict and Self-Employment” evokes an institution of trade union law that is classical in one sense and avant-garde in another. The book proposes its systematic framing through the original and updated study of a complex issue, brought back within the scope of the protections of positive law. Thus, on the basis of a solid theoretical approach, a phenomenon of considerable social relevance is reconstructed: jurisprudential recognition of the right to strike beyond subordination; collective abstention of self-employed workers (professionals and small entrepreneurs in essential services pursuant to Law 146 of 1990); the right to collective action in the European Union legal system. In fact, its recent tendency to extend to self-employed work some protections of subordinate work is important. The analysis of the problems that have emerged in doctrine and jurisprudence allows us to propose immediate applicative solutions.
