This volume contains a collection of essays that revisit the themes of labour in the Constitution and the Workers' Statute. It also includes a number of essays and conference reports dedicated to the evolution of legislation and the analysis of labour policies needed to overcome the various economic crises that have cyclically affected employment and working conditions. However, Carlo Smuraglia never talks about a crisis in labour law, but rather about how to update and adapt regulations to changing contexts, always with the same attention to people's needs and the demands of trade unions, while at the same time looking to foreign experiences for lessons and ideas.
