New article out in @thirdworldq.bsky.social. I explore whether labour law can move beyond its productivist logic and how the notion of a just transition (referenced by the IACtHR) may help rethink labour law so that climate transitions leave no workers behind. 🔗 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

🤑 Bogus self-employment costs the UK about £8.5bn every year, I told the BBC. ✍️ This includes Uber, Deliveroo, Oxbridge colleges, construction firms + hair salons writing sham self-employment contracts for their staff. ⬇️ Listen to this excellent BBC Radio 4 show. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

In my view the Commission argument against regularisation is unfounded as the law now stands. Here's Article 6.4 of the Returns Directive, which allows Member States to regularise the status of irregular migrants. eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten...
Text of Article 6.4 of the Directive. Member States may grant legal residence at any time for any reason to a non-EU citizen "staying illegally on their territory". Full text in the link.

Excited to see our article published in the Industrial Law Journal! We argue that, building on the Inter-American Court’s protective jurisprudence, informal workers in Latin America should be recognised as a vulnerable group, given the structural nature of informality. doi.org/10.1093/indl...

Trump fired the NLRB's pro-worker general counsel and its acting chair. He's effectively gutted the agency tasked with defending the rights of workers to organize. Guess who has recently filed lawsuits aimed at invalidating the agency altogether? Amazon and SpaceX.

The Spanish platform Glovo announces it will now hire its riders as workers. Spanish colleagues can correct me, but I think this results from a clear, simple legal rule and, above all, systematic enforcement by the Labour Inspectorate and other bodies. @luzrodriguez.bsky.social @ibdehere.bsky.social
