Dear Reader,

In the last issue of our monthly Newsletter in 2025, you will find some interesting texts on various aspects of labour law in countries where the law firms that cooperate with ILLN operate.

You will learn, among other things, how employers in France should address risks associated with employees’ alcohol abuse. From the article coming from the country on the Apennine Peninsula, you will be able to form an opinion on the latest developments regarding the rules on trade union representation in relations with employers under the Italian law. Meanwhile, the ILLN-associated law firm from Luxembourg presents the most important labor law challenges in that country, both for 2025 and in the coming year, 2026. In Amsterdam, we will learn, using the example of the Netherlands, what impact artificial intelligence has on works councils.

As you can see, the range of topics is extremely wide and reflects, first and foremost, the diversity we face in Europe, but also shows the possibilities and competences we have as the ILLN.

I warmly invite you to have a read.
