Sustainability philosophers claim that we are at the impasse of stories, finding ourselves in a blank chapter between the old and the new. The old story, characterized by separation, technological arrogance and human superiority over nature, is unfolding in an ecological crisis giving space for a new narrative defined by inter being, cooperation and balance. It has been put forward that this crisi

Avvägningen mellan alltmer flexibla arbetsformer och tillräckligt starkt socialt skydd för arbetare inom EU är en komplex balansgång som utsätter lagstiftarna på EU-nivå för stora utmaningar, speciellt mot bakgrund av den begränsade kompetensen som EU har inom arbetsrätten. De senaste årens fokus på de allra modernaste formerna av utsatta arbetstyper har dock lämnat andra former av atypiska anstälThe balance between increasingly flexible working methods and sufficiently strong social protection for workers within the EU is a complex balancing act that exposes legislators at EU level to major challenges, especially in light of the EU's limited competence in labor law. In recent years, however, the focus on the most modern forms of precarious employment forms has overshadowed other forms
