| Abstract [eng] |
This Master's thesis analysed the relevance of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights as a source of labour law for the parties to the employment relationship, the legislators and the case law. The relevance for the parties to the employment relationship and for the analysis of the fundamental rights of the individual has been analysed on the basis of the provisions of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, their interpretations and the case law of the CJEU. It should be noted that, although the Charter regulates fundamental rights and freedoms, their application is manifested through other legal acts: directives, regulations and national laws. The first part discusses the historical development and significance of the Charter and its relationship with other sources of labour law. The analysis is focused on primary and secondary sources of law, and as a result, the relationship of the Charter's provisions to Lithuanian and EU sources of labour law is examined. The second part of the paper analyses and discusses the fundamental rights and freedoms in the field of labour law, which are regulated by the Charter. The specific features of these fundamental rights and freedoms are highlighted in the light of the relevant case law of the CJEU and the Commission's interpretations of these provisions. The last part of the thesis analyses the impact and relevance of the Charter for individuals, legislators and national courts. An analysis of the CJEU's case-law on the interpretation of the Charter's reasoning is made. |
