WELCOME

                        Welcome to the University of Amsterdam!

                        It is a great pleasure to welcome you at the 2nd Conference of the Labour Law Research Network, organized by the
                        Hugo Sinzheimer Institute, Faculty of Law, of the University of Amsterdam. The venue is the Oudemanhuis (the
                        elderly men house) dated back to 1601, when these premises housed only 45 elderly men. Today we host 450
                        registered participants from 45 different countries, who will participate in a total of 72 plenary sessions, as well as a
                        number of excellent plenary speakers. The conference promises to be a very rich and stimulating event.

                        This conference comes after a time of prolonged crisis, which put labour and employment relations are under strong
                        pressure to change. Within this context of a long crisis and uncertainty about the future, we hope that this
                        Conference can be a moment of reflection on the present and future of labour law and employment relations. We
hope that the Conference will contribute to a better understanding of the functioning of labour relations and labour and employment law in
an international context. In order to stimulate the exchange of ideas, the reflections will take place in a large number of panel sessions
where we scheduled ample time for discussion. These sessions have a wide range of topics like the desirability of a basic income, the
methods of enforcing labour standards and the position of the self-employed worker.

Clearly, there is more than enough to discuss! We hope that you will find these three days to be inspiring, that you will meet old friends and
colleagues, and make and meet new ones, that the Conference inspires you to rethink labour law and enables you to improve it where
possible, and, of course, we hope that you have a very enjoyable stay in Amsterdam.

Best wishes,
Evert Verhulp

Director of the Hugo Sinzheimer Institute and chair of the Labour Law department of the University of Amsterdam

                                                                       2
WELCOME
Dear colleagues,

The Labour Law Research Network was set up four years ago, with the aim of advancing labour law scholarship by
connecting researchers from around the world. To do so, we have a website, where one can find new papers, as well
as information on events and other news relevant for labour law academics; we have a mailing list, which provides a
quick way to disseminate information to more than 700 labour law scholars; and we are holding bi-annual conferences.

The LLRN was set up as a network of labour law research centres/institutes (and labour law departments, where those
exist). There are now 54 centres in the Network, from every continent (except Antarctica…); we rely on the ongoing
contributions of these institutional members, and we are thankful for their support. Of course, the LLRN also serves
individual scholars (not associated with any centre) as well.

The first conference, held two years ago, was hosted by the greDTiSS centre from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, and was a
tremendous success. I am very excited to welcome you to the second conference, and would like to thank the fantastic team of the Hugo
Sinzheimer Institute at the University of Amsterdam for hosting this conference, which I am certain will be equally successful.

The LLRN conferences are meant to answer a need for conferences that are entirely academic (organized by scholars and for scholars), at
the highest academic level, and focusing specifically on labour law issues. We strive for conferences that are not only rigorous and
stimulating academically, but also inclusive, non-hierarchical, truly global, collegial and enjoyable. The program before you promises the
potential for such a conference; it is now up to us – the presenters, discussants, chairs and audience – to materialize this potential.

Yours,
Guy Davidov

Chair of the LLRN Steering Committee

PROGRAMME
In total the programme includes 72 panels, which are organised in 9 panel sessions, each with 8 parallel panels. In order to guide you
through the programme we have ordered the panels around thematic tracks. In total we have 5 specific tracks, which address the following,
widely formulated themes:

Track 1 Precarious and atypical work as a challenge for labour law
Track 2 Labour law and Industrial relations in (times of) crisis
Track 3 Institutional aspects of labour law
Track 4 Labour related social security law
Track 5 Purpose, scope and boundaries of labour law

Furthermore, each track includes a so called 'Mini Symposium'. In these mini symposia we have tried to bring together panels that are
somewhat more related to each other.

Lastly, we have a General Conference Track, since the conference is not limited to the themes mentioned above, hence it is open to a
variety of research in the wider field of labour/employment law.

At the end of the programme a list of participants is included. For each participant we have indicated in which panel session he or she will
act, either by presenting a paper, being a discussant or chairing a session. This is indicated by the following abbreviations:
PS = panel session, followed by the number of the session;
GCT = general conference track; and
T+number = refers to the specific Track-theme.

Please mind that the programme was sent to the printer on 9 June 2015 and therefore any changes, in for instance titles of papers, after
this date are not included in this programme. See for the most up to date information the programme at: www.llrn-conference2015.org.

                                                                     8
