This paper focuses on the specific problems in the labour and social security legislation as it relates to crowdworkers in the digitalised new economy, analysing their place in labour market, and especially in the collective agreements which are the standard means of regulating working conditions in the Nordic model. Sweden has a binary system where a performing party is as either an employee or self-employed. The law on working and employment conditions offers only limited protection to those on short, fixed-term contracts; instead, it is social partners that have improved crowdworkers’ conditions in some industries by using collective bargaining. However, there are no collective agreements in the digital economy, or indeed for platform entrepreneurs. The complications of the parties’ positions will be analysed, especially as platforms do not consider themselves to be employers, but rather coordinators of the self-employed. It is not only labour law regulations that are important to prevent precariat among crowdworkers. It is also very important that the social security regulations adapt to the new labour market as the social security legislation is an important part of the Nordic model.

The dissertation discusses legal questions related to seeking benefits based on the supported employment act in Germany. Problems of both social security and labour law during the stages of the procurement of appropriate services, granting benefits and realising them practically are considered. This concerns legal premises, the characteristics of the legal relationship between the parties involved, the statutory sources from the German severely disabled act, membership in several branches of the German social security insurance as well as questions of applicability of competition laws. The legislator’s regulations are reflected critically. Furthermore, changes are proposed in order to eliminate statutory shortcomings.

Anyone wishing to survey and evaluate the principal developments in Israeli labour law since the establishment of the State must relate both to the whole range of labour legislation, including legislation in the area of social security, and to the case law which has grown up alongside this legislation, which has interpreted it, and has completed and developed norms lacking in the legislation.Labour legislation in Israel, particularly in its initial stages, as Prof. Raday mentioned, was the outcome of a planned initiative. The legislation was designed to express the political and social independence of the State, to adopt the accepted international norms in this area, and to integrate Israel into the international community.

- In this lecture, given at the University of Bari on the occasion of the ceremony for the conferral of ad honoris causa degree in law, Bob Hepple suggests lessons that we can draw from the history of labour law in Europe. The most serious economic crisis in the last 70 years is at the center of his analysis. In the author's view, the deep recession, following the banking crisis, presents us with a number of major problems, threatening for the survival of labour law and of social protection developed in Europe since 1945. The author touches upon four of these problems: the growth of mass unemployment; the accelerated expansion of informal, deregulated forms of work outside the scope of labour law and social security; increasing inequality in the labour market; the dangers of nationalism and protectionism.

While Sweden has long enjoyed a solid reputation for protecting weaker parties through a comprehensive welfare state and a labour market governed by collective bargaining, its system for enforcing these rights has rested upon the public authorities and the social partners rather than on judicial proceedings. Against this background, this article examines the legal avenues for bringing collective actions and obtaining collective redress before courts in social security and labour law cases in Sweden. It finds that the relevant legislation does not explicitly provide for collective redress in either field. Within social security law, collective access to court is practically excluded, whereas in labour law, the current procedural framework can only with difficulty be construed as lending itself to measures of collective redress, and then only with some significant legal and practical limitations. While indicative of the general situation as regards collective redress in Sweden, whose legislation on group actions has been criticised for its toothlessness and has been put to little practical use, this also suggests that the tradition of collectivism in the Swedish social security and labour market systems still does not translate into collectivism in judicial redress.
