Abstract
The essay explores the roles of the values of EU in a European labour market strongly affected by massive workforce immigration. In the context of the EU labour law, renewed by the Charter of fundamental rights, the crucial challenge is how to conciliate values having a limited – as citizenship- and larger – human dignity-personal scope of application. The idea is to resolve this apparent conflict via interpretation connecting all human rights sources as European Social Charter, ILO and UN Conventions.
