Collective redress has a lot of appeal as an enforcement tool, but historically it has been seen as somewhat unfitting for the European legal landscape. Despite this, many EU national legal systems have introduced collective redress mechanisms. The area of EU labour and social law, however, has been slow to catch up with this trend. This article discusses whether collective redress in labour and social law disputes could be an attractive option for the EU. Relying on an analysis of the legal opportunity structure it proposes some ideas on how to advance. All in all, collective redress is no panacea but could potentially complement and improve the EU enforcement toolbox, particularly in areas where there is evidence of persistent enforcement gaps.

集体补救作为一种执法工具具有很大的吸引力，但从历史上看，它被视为有点不适合欧洲的法律环境。尽管如此，许多欧盟国家法律体系已经引入了集体补救机制。然而，欧盟劳动和社会法领域在跟上这一趋势方面进展缓慢。本文讨论了劳动和社会法纠纷中的集体补救是否对欧盟有吸引力。依靠对法律机会结构的分析，它提出了一些关于如何推进的想法。总而言之，集体补救不是灵丹妙药，但可以潜在地补充和改进欧盟执法工具箱，特别是在有证据表明执法差距持续存在的领域。
