The power to dismiss : trade unions and the regulation of job security in Western Europe / Patrick Emmenegger. - 1 online resource (xv, 346 pages) : illustrations (black and white)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Emmenegger analyses the historical development of job security regulations in Western Europe from the establishment of freedom of contract in the nineteenth century until the heyday of two-tier labour market reforms in the 2000s. Job security regulations restrict managerial capacity to dismiss employees or use new forms of employment (e.g. temporary work) when hiring new workers.
