Abstract

The paper aims to highlight the dynamics and criticalities of the labour market organisational model in Europe: the indications coming from the Community level, which are intended to create a market that is both flexible for businesses and safe for workers, are crosscutting in nature and have an impact on the three phases of working relationships - entry, exit, and contract - in addition to affecting industrial relations models. Workers' rights and companies' organisational needs find new forms of coexistence and mutual reinforcement in a production world that is further and further from the Fordist model, as well as increasingly oriented towards "Industry 4.0".
