Just a reminder that on Friday 27 March 2009 Keith Ewing (Professor of
Public Law, Kings College London) and Jan Cremers (Member of European
Parliament) will be presenting to the next regular monthly seminar of the
British Universities Industrial Relations Association (BUIRA) Central London
Branch. The title of their talk is Whither decision making, labour standards
and social policy in the European Union? and they will debate particularly
how the free movement of workers can be achieved on the basis of equal
rights rather than through social dumping. Keith Ewing will address recent
controversial decisions of the European Court of Justice and their
implications for fundamental social rights and EU social policy. And Jan
Cremers will focus on the clash between the free movement of services and
workers’ rights, especially the threatened subordination of national labour
conditions to the market (see also attached article). There promises to be a
lively discussion, one which is highly relevant to the current situation of
economic crisis, surfacing in, for instance, disputes around the Lindsey oil
refinery.
 
So do put this date in your diary now. These meetings can be full. To ensure
a place and to help forecast catering provision, please inform Linda Clarke
if you expect to attend, preferably by email (please also let me know if you
subsequently need to cancel).
