| Research Abstract |
Considering the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union 2000 which ends the dichotomy of traditional civil rights and modern social rights, and merges civil rights with social rights, the theories of human rights in labour law are developing in Britain. Restructuring fundamental rights, academic labour lawyers try to build the concepts of human rights which labour law needs, and use those concepts as bases for various regulatory techniques of labour law in Britain.
There also seems to be the development of theories of human rights in the theories of contract of employment in Britain. Opinion that the implied common law duty of maintaining mutual trust and confidence might be sufficiently flexible and open-ended to serve as host to some (not all) European Convention rights, is suggested by some leading academic labour lawyers. The above opinion uses the legal incident form to impose a duty to respect human rights on employers in contract of employment.
As stated above, this study makes clear that the development of the theories of human rights in labour law on mulititiered levels is needed to respond to the change of employment relations brought by the changes of social, economic and political situations.
