...the publication of this volume is very timely. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the normative profile of the Convention across the range of relevant labour rights. ...The quality across these chapters is high, and it is evenly distributed. It provides an unrivalled overview of the current state of play under the Convention, and in so doing this volume deserves to be on the shelf of any academic or practising labour lawyer.

This book analyses the relevance of the ECHR for the protection of workers' rights and for the effective enjoyment of civil and political rights in the employment relation.
