Flexicurity

Sodelovanje prava in ekonomije je lahko izraženo tudi v delovnopravni sferi in sicer v pojmu prožna varnost. Trend držav k stremenju po prožni delovni zakonodaji je zaradi izkoriščanja prednosti, ki jih prinaša globalizacija. Fleksibilnost trga dela pomeni sposobnost prilagajanja in odzivanja na spremembe. Ne gre za enačenje s pojmom lahkega odpuščanja delavcev, ampak za prožno obnašanje delavcev in delodajalcev. Tako v smislu, da delavci hitro najdejo novo zaposlitev (imajo tudi lažji dostop do poklicev), kot tudi, da ima delodajalec možnost v okviru poslovne fleksibilnosti uravnavati delovni čas in organizirati delo. Zaradi težnje delodajalcev po večji fleksibilnosti se pojavljajo atipične oblike dela, pri katerih gre za odmik od klasičnega vzorca odvisnosti med delavcem in delodajalcem. Med atipične oblike dela spadajo začasno in občasno delo, volontersko pripravništvo, podjemna in avtorska pogodba, študentsko delo, samozaposlitev. Zaradi po mnenju delodajalcev premalo fleksibilnega trga dela pa je velik problem pojav prekarnega dela. Problem nastane, če je trg dela neprožen in čezmerno usmerjen v varnost zaposlitve, po drugi strani pa, da delovna zakonodaja ne omogoča niti minimalnega varstva zaposlenim. Zato želimo v prožni varnosti vzpostaviti ravnovesje. Za dosego ravnovesja lahko preučimo primere dobrih praks iz tujine, predvsem je zanimiv danski model in njihova usmeritev v aktivno politiko zaposlovanja in obnašanje sindikatov.We can see how law and economics cooperate also in labour law. If we would like to take all the advantages the globalisation can offer us, than the labour law needs to be more flexible. Market is flexible when everyone can adjust and response to different changes. Flexibility does not mean, that the workers can be easily fired, it means that workers and employers act flexible. In flexicurity workers can easily find new jobs, employers can easily replace workers, and are flexible in organization of working hours and work. Because of flexibility nowadays we can find a lot of atypical work (temporary work, casual work, part-time work, contract for service, copyright contract, student work, self-employment). In that sort of work workers are not subordinate. Very big problem nowadays is also precarious work. The problem is that labour market is not flexible enough or that is concentrating on security too mouch. In flexicurity we are attempting to find balance between flexibility and security. To find that balance we can help ourselves with good examples from foreign country such as Denmark (especially in their active employment policy and how their trade union works)
