Cooperation and education

Sharing the expertise and experience among member law firms and cooperation in preparing educational materials designed for their clients are some of the main components forming the global cooperation within Ius Laboris. In this respect, useful publications, bulletins and seminars are being prepared and further distributed to the clients through the law firms. They are mainly aimed on alerting possible labour law problems and issues on both global and regional or local level.

Global Alert

A series of publications is produced each year to make the clients of the member law firms acquainted with current labour law issues of mainly global nature.

The first issue of Global Alerts is called “Lessons learned from the Japanese Disaster: Employer Responsibilities to its Employees”. The authors react on March events in Japan when the earthquake and subsequent tsunami paralysed the life on the islands, including the functioning of Fukushima nuclear power plant. The text analyzes particular measures taken by multinational corporations in Japan in connection with the protection of their employees from the radioactive pollution. In general, it further deals with employer´s duties to protect life and health of its employees.
