Since it's #RedBooksDay today to celebrate left-wing books (and since that's basically what I do here every day of the year), I thought I would write about 10 left-wing books that have been very dear to me and to which I still return a lot. Here wo go ... 🧵

Absolute kijktip! Helaas vele van dit soort situaties tegengekomen in Den Haag. Malafide uitzendbureaus die misbruik maken van de arbeidsmigrant.

Bedrijfsongeval? Ontslag.
Geen werk? Geen woning.
Geen familie of vangnet? Een leven op straat.

Bedankt voor het kijken naar #pointer over de gebrekkige zorg voor arbeidsmigranten. Wil jij ook een ervaring delen? Laat het ons weten via pointer.kro.ncrv.nl/deel-jouw-erva…

Maar wie gaat de PVV over vier jaar de grootste maken als de NPO niet meer bestaat?

Very happy with this excellent contribution to our forthcoming book on labour laws from a #postgrowth #degrowth perspective.

Heb je een huishoudelijk werker? Zij hebben recht op 4 weken vakantie per jaar en 8% vakantietoeslag op hun loon, zelfs als er geen arbeidscontract is of als iemand ongedocumenteerd is. 🌿zorg ook voor een fijne vakantie voor je hulp in huis en gedraag je als een #GoedWerkgever

This is so true.

Happy to be in Warsaw for the famous Labour Law Research Network conference #LLRN6 where we presented this book on Privacy @ work this morning. Now, it’s difficult to choose from all the excellent panels.

First day at Amsterdam Law School UvA Amsterdam as associate professor of labour law! I will miss the colleagues at Tilburg University, but I am also very much looking forward to working with the wonderful and welcoming people at AIAS/HSI AIAS-HSI.

Literally no one understands something more completely than a woman in a meeting who starts a question with “Just so I understand…”

You gotta love labour law.

🧵(1/6) The Swedish Presidency’s @sweden2023eu new compromise on #platformwork is limited to 4 minor tweaks!
