Malta and the European Union : a comparative study on social policy, employment and industrial relations

Abstract

A comparative analytic study of European Union (EU) & Maltese legislation in the fields of social policy, employment and industrial relations, as well as an overview of the impact on employers in Malta of the EU acquis in this area. This study prepared by Dr. Godfrey Baldacchino, was commissioned by the Malta Employers' Association as a contribution to the on-going national debate on the rights and wrongs of Malta's current bid to join the European Union. It has served as the basis for discussions with Government in preparation for bilateral negotiations with the European Union on behalf of all employers in Malta.
