Abstract
«Building on the ongoing discussion on the labour–environment nexus in labour
law and other areas of scholarship, in this paper we systematically analyse EU legal
instruments in the areas of labour law and environmental law, seeking to assess
how these normative and policy domains are related to each other. We draw on
the explicit and implicit intersections between these two domains when it comes
to relevant EU legislation, in order to identify and conceptualise early examples
of what we call ‘workers’ environmental rights’. These rights include individual
and collective rights whose exercise contributes simultaneously to labour and
environmental sustainability. Where such ‘workers’ environmental rights’ are
not explicitly set out in legislation, we provide insights into how they could be
construed via judicial interpretation, as well as on how they could be integrated
in future EU and national legislation through statutory provisions or collective
agreements».
