Professor Ojeda Avilés’ work "Transnational Labour Law", published by
Wolters Kluwer, New York December 2014, is the revised version of a book
originally published in Spanish by Tirant lo Blanch Publications in 2013. Although
recently retired from teaching duties at the University of Seville, Professor Ojeda
has not retired from the field of research that has earned him a reputation both
nationally and internationally. This book is the result of a decentralised
international work-chain, involving the use of cross-border electronic media and
the Internet, characteristic of the globalised activities of today’s major publishing
houses, such as Wolters Kluwer.
This work examines International Labour Law from a previously unexplored
viewpoint: the transnational nature of workers problems in relation with employers
at a supranational level. This is an important aspect as the author points out in his
preface, given that “the transnational context implies a horizontal view of the
global instruments, something quite different from the international view as
synonymous with ´inter-state´”. Transnational Law is different from Private
International Law, since the former takes into account the leading role of
multinational companies and new forms of private regulation covering economic
and production relations. Transnational Law covers the legal jurisdiction of
multinationals and their means of interaction with international subjects, to which
we must add the enormous rise in international trade unionism.
The author outlines the three areas of analysis of this work, each with a
differentiated treatment: a) ILO Conventions and specialized committees on the
implementation of standards; b) European Union Directives, Regulations, tripartite
social dialogue and other institutions; and c) the broad deregulated and anomic
state that nevertheless is beginning to take on some type of regulation.
