Experiences and challenges of the labour relationship in the post-pandemic era
Experiences and challenges of the labour relationship in the post-pandemic era

Summary/Abstract: The paper is a critical approach of the future of the labour law, along the lines that have been traced by COVID-19-generated structural transformations and the speeding up of previous changes in its domain, from the increasing complexity of judicial relations among labourers, employers and the state, to those regarding the very contents of labour itself. Likewise, the Industrial Revolution 4.0 gives rise to factors that cause direct and indirect effects on the labour law: the end-results of these developments lead to the inevitable adaptation of the labour law, not to its demise – just like whatever processes are unfolding in this Revolution would change the contents and substance of labour, not kill it. The paper concludes with a selective inventory of trends that may continue in 2021 and beyond, as well as some answers concerning the post-pandemic social law.
