Dominik Leist comments on Articles 28 and 12 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights in the anthology "EU Labour Law - A Commentary" edited by Christina Hießl.
Article 28 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, which concerns the right to collective bargaining and collective action, is one of the most controversial provisions of European labour law. At the same time, the interpretation of this provision has a significant impact, as it is crucial both for understanding collective bargaining rights and measures in a multi-level system and for understanding their tension with EU fundamental freedoms and antitrust prohibitions.
Dominik Leist examines the regulation with a particular focus on its interactions with related guarantees under international law and national law. In connection with this, he also highlights its relationship to the general freedom of association under Article 12 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which is also discussed.
EU Labour Law - A Commentary was published by Wolters Kluwer in 2025.
