00 Paperback Bulletin of comparative labour relations; 69 KJC2869 The Laval and Viking cases decided by the European Court of Justice involved issues of social dumping by a cheaper labor force coming from an Eastern European country, the right of workers to equal wages and conditions, the right to strike, and the right of a country to impose its own industrial relations system, thereby encompassing issues of both national and transnational law in and outside of Europe.
