![]() ![]() Given that the contemporaneous academic literature did not offer much insight, we went to the archives and traced the evolution of the debates on economic migration in the period leading up to the signing of the Treaty of Rome, and again in the run up to the adoption of the key Regulation on workers, Regulation 1612/68 (now Regulation 492/11). We also wanted to know whether any of the concerns which so resonated in the 2016 referendum campaign, especially about benefit tourism and pressure on public services, were ventilated at the time (the ‘risks’ question). The final chapters look closely at the substantive area of employment law, examining the free movement of persons, equal treatment, health and safety and workingconditions, the restructuring of enterprises, worker participation, and collective action.Given the emphasis, at the time of the 2016 referendum, on the need to take back control of UK immigration policy, the article raises the question as to why the founding EU States decided not only to cede control in this sensitive field but also to allow such a generous approach to economic migration (to include not just workers but also their family members and to include equal access to benefits, including to housing) (the ‘why’ question). The text then studies rule-making in the field of employment law, considering both the traditional routes to legislation and governance techniques such as the Open Method of Coordination. It also analyses the ever-expanding body of employment case law, including the momentous decisions in Viking, Laval, Rueffert, and Commission v Luxembourg.The book begins with an examination of the development of EU employment law focusing on the shift from employment law to employment policy. The coverage in the new edition has been expanded with material on all the latest developments, incorporating the changes made by the Lisbon Treaty the EU2020 strategy the Charter of Fundamental Rights the 'Article 19 Directives' the Temporary Agency Work Directive the revisions to the existing including the Directives on ParentalLeave and European Works Council and the new Social Security Regulations 883/2004.
