With this paper we aimed to give an insight into Austria's labour and social security jurisdiction, notably into different forms of collective redress within this system. As the Austrian Labour and Social Courts Act provides for certain instruments of collective redress, the primary focus will be on those. The main drawback of those existing forms of collective action for labour law matters, however, is the lacking possibility for the single employee to enforce the respective judgement. Hence it can only serve as a legal test case. In that respect, instruments of Austria's general civil procedural law could present a practical alternative to the problem and thus the legal framework and ongoing academic debate about the application of those procedures is also a key part of the paper.

就劳动法和社会政策纠纷集体诉诸国家法院:奥地利
通过本文,我们旨在深入了解奥地利的劳动和社会保障管辖范围,特别是该系统内不同形式的集体救济。由于《奥地利劳工和社会法院法》规定了某些集体补救手段,因此主要重点将放在这些方面。然而,这些现有的劳动法集体诉讼形式的主要缺点是单一雇员缺乏执行各自判决的可能性。因此它只能作为一个合法的测试用例。在这方面,奥地利一般民事诉讼法的文书可以为该问题提供一个实用的替代方案,因此关于这些程序的适用的法律框架和正在进行的学术辩论也是本文的关键部分。
