In the anteroom of a new «Reforming Hysteria»: Chronicles and criticisms of the novelties in the Labour law by European imperative

Abstract

The change of Government in Spain has opened new expectations of important legal-labor and social security reforms. Parliamentary uncertainty raises doubts about its scope. Meanwhile, since the arrival of the new Government, in the summer of 2018, important regulatory reforms have taken place. These changes do not find their cause in the decisions of national sovereignty but the imperatives of Community Law (transnational displacements of workers, mobility of talented foreigners, recovery of the right to health care by foreign immigrants in an irregular situation; part-time workers).

Of all these legal-labor novelties, account, briefly, but analytically and critically, this comment.
