Introduction
Abstract
The identification of the beneficiaries of the various labour law instruments has always been a controversial issue in domestic jurisdictions, precipitating heated debates around who should be covered by labour and social law provisions. This is all the more acute when dealing with a supranational legal order like the European Union (‘EU’) which comprises 27 Member States that have different labour and social law traditions, making it thus more difficult to agree on a common ‘worker’ definition.
