Abstract

The TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement) may be key for the EU-USA forthcoming vision of labor and industrial relations. The ttip may be turned into an opportunity to ground a new generation of labor chapters in investment/partnership treaties. In line with preliminary outputs, a practical proposal is introduced. This essay is also aimed at analyzing, under a critical legal approach, why, to what extent and how the TTIP labor chapter may be set up. A special focus on the TTIP and ISDS in labor items is included.
