ENThe Charter of Fundamental Rights does not contain the exhaustive list of fundamental rights for the field of labour law. On contrary, the number of rights that are found in the Charter under Title ‘Solidarity’ is rather modest. Those rights quite fragmentally cover various aspects of employment with different degrees of precision and wide discretion for the Member States. As case-law of the CJEU confirms, the content of those rights will largely depend on the existing secondary legislation of the European Union. However, the multiple dimension of protection of human rights in Europe suggests that the labour standards elaborated in the legal frameworks of the European Convention of Human Rights, International Labour Organisation and European Social Charter may fill the content of the provisions of the Charter.
