On February 12, 2026 we held another webinar in the Inspirational Lecture series – “UK and EU Labour Law: Divergence, Continuity, and Worker Protection”. Webinar was conducted by Dr Jonathan Lord from Salford Business School.
UK and EU Labour Law: Divergence, Continuity, and Worker Protection
This guest lecture explores the foundations of UK and EU labour law, examining how employment rights have developed, where the two systems continue to align, and where they are increasingly diverging. Drawing on case law and recent legislative developments, the session considers the practical implications for workers, employers, and HR professionals operating in cross-border or UK-based contexts.
