Since 2010, multiple waves of EU/IMF-imposed legislative reforms have led to extensive deregulation or ‘de-construction’ of Greek collective labour law. While there are many accounts of the Greek reforms, no systematic attention has been devoted to the following paradox: how is such a de-construction possible, in a jurisdiction enjoying a strong domestic constitutionalisation of labour rights, and apparently observing multiple transnational collective labour rights, derived from the CFREU, ECHR, and ILO Conventions? This article sets out to investigate the constitutional dynamics behind the process termed here as ‘de-constitutionalisation’ of collective labour rights. It seeks to add two contributions to the existing literature. Firstly, taking its cue from Eric Tucker’s mapping of multi-level ‘capital’ and ‘labour’ constitutions developed in the Canadian context, it suggests that the Greek case of de-constitutionalisation is the cumulative result of a specific configuration of interactions between ‘aggressive’ EU-IMF conditionality at the level of transnational capital rights, and ‘defensive’ articulation of labour rights at domestic and transnational levels. As will be seen, these interactions disguise an asymmetric clash between a strong constutionalisation of capital rights at transnational level, and a weak constitutionalisation of labour rights at both transnational and domestic levels. Secondly, the article projects the Greek case onto the broader constitutionalisation debate, which questions the desirability of constitutionalising collective labour rights as an effective response to neo-liberal policies and laws. While submitting that the Greek developments support the sceptical side of this debate, especially by providing a continental European confirmation of Tucker’s thesis, the article offers several new reflections of relevance to the constitutionalisation debate.

集体劳动权利去宪法化：希腊案例

自 2010 年以来，欧盟/国际货币基金组织实施的多波立法改革导致希腊集体劳动法的广泛放松管制或“解构”。尽管有很多关于希腊改革的描述，但并没有系统地关注以下悖论：在一个享有强烈的国内劳工权利宪法化并且显然遵守多项跨国集体劳工权利的司法管辖区，这种解构如何可能？ ，源自 CFREU、ECHR 和 ILO 公约？本文着手调查这里称为集体劳动权利“去宪法化”过程背后的宪法动力。它试图为现有文献增加两个贡献。首先，从埃里克·塔克 (Eric Tucker) 对加拿大背景下制定的多层次“资本”和“劳动”宪法的映射中得出的线索，它表明希腊的去宪法化案例是“激进的”欧盟之间特定互动配置的累积结果。 - 国际货币基金组织在跨国资本权利层面的条件，以及在国内和跨国层面对劳工权利的“防御性”阐述。正如将要看到的那样，这些互动掩盖了跨国层面资本权利宪法化与跨国和国内劳工权利宪法化薄弱之间的不对称冲突。其次，文章将希腊案例投射到更广泛的宪法化辩论中，这质疑将集体劳工权利宪法化作为对新自由主义政策和法律的有效回应的可取性。在提出希腊的发展支持这场辩论的怀疑方面的同时，特别是通过提供欧洲大陆对塔克论点的证实，文章提供了一些与宪法化辩论相关的新思考。
