The right to privacy is a fundamental right. Along with the related right to personal data protection, it has come to take a central place in contemporary employment relations and shows significant relevance for the future of work. This thoroughly researched volume, which offers insightful essays by leading European academics and policymakers in labour and employment law, is the first to present a thoroughly up-to-date Europe-wide survey and analysis of the intensive and growing interaction of workplace relations systems with developments in privacy law. With abundant reference to the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, the case law of the European Court of Human Rights, and the work of the International Labour Organisation, the book proceeds as a series of country chapters, each by a recognised expert in a specific jurisdiction. Legal comparison is based on a questionnaire circulated to the contributors in advance. Each country chapter addresses the national legal weight of such issues and topics as the following: interaction of privacy and data protection law; legitimacy, purpose limitation, and data minimisation; transparency; role of consent; artificial intelligence and automated decision-making; health-related data, including biometrics and psychological testing; monitoring and surveillance; and use of social media. A detailed introductory overview begins the volume. The research for this book is based on a dynamic methodology, founded in scientific desk research and expert networking. Recognising that the need for further guidance for privacy at work has been demonstrated by various European and international bodies, this book delivers a signal contribution to the field for social partners, practitioners, policymakers, scholars, and all other stakeholders working at the crossroads of privacy, data protection, and labour law.

Bulletin of Comparative Labour Relations Now that the idea of the workplace and the traditional view of working time are undergoing major challenges, it is important to rethink the questions of what is work and what is the meaning of work. This book delves into the problems and issues raised by these questions today and explores new pathways and answers. Fourteen distinguished labour and employment law experts contribute insightful examinations of developments and trends in the world of work that have a penetrating impact on the ways in which we understand and approach labour law. The book is the result of the Third Conference in Commemoration of Professor Roger Blanpain, organized by the Institute for Labour Law of KU Leuven in September 2023. In a collection of papers, the contributors explore such aspects of the rapidly changing work landscape as the following: working with smart technology and artificial intelligence; protection of the self-employed and teleworkers; the erosion of boundaries between work and personal life; the ‘right to disconnect’; protection of worker privacy in an era of heightened surveillance; reconciling the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with labour law requirements; labour law protections beyond the human worker to include the environment; work in periods of crisis; precarious work; wearable technology in workplace monitoring; and robots in the workplace. With a core consideration of the relationship between labour law and the individual, the overall perspective proposes a transformative vision where labour law becomes the law of social freedom, intrinsically linked to personal development and social recognition. The diverse contributions together provide a crucial foundation for reimagining labour law and advancing our understanding of the evolving meaning of work by highlighting the necessity for legal frameworks to respond to unprecedented global, technological, and social transformations. With its practical insights into contemporary workplace issues, critical analysis of work-life balance, and guidance on managing technological change, it will be welcomed by practitioners, academics, regulators, and social partners working in the fields of labour and employment law.
Confidentiality and Privacy in Social Work

The advent of computerized data systems, the growth of managed care, the AIDS epidemic, mandatory reporting requirements for child abuse, workplace drug testing, and various laws requiring that social workers maintain confidential communications in some situations yet disclose them in others have made confidentiality a vital, changing area of the law. Practitioners, administrators, and those studying for these professions need to know how to use these laws to protect their clients, themselves, and their agencies. Mental health practitioners need authoritative guidance in these areas when working with clients -- children as well as adults -- in both individual and group settings. Administrators must be aware of the laws that protect worker and client privacy, and those that permit legitimate access to information.
