  4. The Employment Contract as an Exclusionary Device

    The Employment Contract as an Exclusionary Device

    An Analysis on the Basis of 25 Years of Developments in The Netherlands
    Book | 1st edition 2008 | United Kingdom | Robert Knegt
    The employment contract has, in a relatively short time, developed into the atom of the normative structuralization of labour relations. In this book it is analysed from the perspective of inclusion and exclusion (as to its form, its content, and the working persons to be covered). To those interested in recent developments in labour law, and the often contested regulation of its adjoining fields, the book offers a careful analysis of developments in The Netherlands. Its application of a perspective of exclusion and inclusion makes, however, the thrust of the book much wider.
