Abstract: The
paper is a critical approach of the future of the labour law, along the lines
that have been traced by COVID-19-generated structural transformations and the
speeding up of previous changes in its domain, from the increasing complexity
of judicial relations among labourers, employers and the state, to those
regarding the very contents of labour itself. Likewise, the Industrial
Revolution 4.0 gives rise to factors that cause direct and indirect effects on the
labour law: the end-results of these developments lead to the inevitable
adaptation of the labour law, not to its demise – just like whatever processes
are unfolding in this Revolution would change the contents and substance of
labour, not kill it. The paper concludes with a selective inventory of trends
that may continue in 2021 and beyond, as well as some answers concerning the
post-pandemic social law. Experiences and challenges of the labour relationship
in the post-pandemic era.
Keywords: automation; labour relationship; labour law; inequality; digitalization; working time, childcare leave.
