A consideration of one of the most important questions that an employment judge could be asked - namely, to identify the fundamental rights of workers. The book is the result of a conference on the subject, and contains input from employment judges from the Member States of the European Union and also from members of the European Economic Area.;The result is a synthesis of the views of all these different people. Although the traditions and experience of judges from different countries are very different, their views of what is just and what is ""fundamental"" are very similar. This demonstrates that there is a common European experience, possibly even a common universal experience, of what is and is not ""just"".;The results are by no means complete, but hope to amount to a framework from which some European Declaration could emerge which would not just be a pious aspiration but a genuine statement of principle with which all true Europeans would agree.
