Whether we like it or not, social media like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube, and messaging services like Messenger, WhatsApp or Snapchat have changed the way we communicate—probably forever. Their impact and functionality can help employers conduct internal communications at the workplace, even during group layoffs.

In disputes involving collective labour law, although the point is debatable it should generally be accepted that there is a right to seek relief in the courts. But this does not necessarily mean that the trade union has standing to file suit in a collective dispute. A lack of standing will result in denial of the claim. Nonetheless, the validity of the claim should always be evaluated.

On 17 December 2015, the European Parliament’s Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs voted in favour of the proposed Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data. The draft adopted is the result of several years of legislative work, discussions among stakeholders, and weighing of competing priorities. The proposal is a point of departure for further legislative work and may undergo further modifications. Nonetheless, it gives a clear picture of the General Data Protection Regulation which is soon expected to become law. A major reform of the data protection system throughout the European Union is about to take place.
