Abstract
This article considers the impact of the economic,
social and political crisis on the
labour law regimes of two of the Member States of the European Union most
affected; Greece and Ireland. Both countries have been the recipients of ‘bail-out’
deals, negotiated and monitored by what has become
known as the ‘Troika’ of the
European Commission, the European Central Bank and
the International Monetary
Fund. The article considers the extent to which both countries have been required to
make amendments to their labour law regimes, as a condition of their bail-outs. It
argues that the changes demanded reflect the basic
norm now governing the EU
legal order, namely that of ‘competition’; the logic of market integration based on the
primacy of economic competition.
