It started as a notebook📓 accompanying my course on Europäisches Arbeitsrecht (European Labour Law) in 1995, became the first in Germany in 1997, and has now made its fourth edition! Thanks to the infinite patience of Nomos Publishers, and the stepping in of Rebecca Zahn as co-author, here it is after a long break (3rd edition of 2007, just before I left Germany for the UK). Its still in German, but we aim for an English translation. First these need to sell a little (paper here:

Free translation of publisher’s blurb:
Employment law and industrial relations are strongly influenced by European integration. This advanced text book is written for undergraduate and postgraduate students of law, economics, and political science, as well as for those studying labour law as trade union activists or human resource managers. It evaluates European labour law from a comparative and international law perspective.
For its 4th edition, after more than 15 years, this standard work on European labour law has been extensively revised and restructured. The first part now starts with a comprehensive introduction to international, comparative and European integration perspectives on European labor law, followed by a basic section on EU law. Part 1 C exposes the substantive and procedural elements of EU law relating to labour law, and Part 1 D demonstrates how the EU’s economic and social constitution impacts on national labour laws. Part 2 is devoted to an exemplary presentation of key elements of EU legislation in labour law, adding the latest regulatory reflections on the “gig economy” to the topics covered so far.
