What is it about?

This article refers to a necessity to overcome a methodological vicious in the general debate on collective labour law in Europe, which is framed by an alleged conflict between economic freedoms (of the employers) on the one hand, and the social rights (of the employees and their organisations) on the other hand. The article proposes an alternative concept, the collective labour freedoms, which can be useful to reshape the scholar debate after the Laval doctrine.
