Summary/Abstract: The study of the evolution of regulations on collective redundancies is of particular interest, arising from the need for a thorough understanding of the concepts specific to labor relations at national and European level. For an overview of the way in which the legislation specific to collective dismissal has evolved in Romania, seen both as a special protection measure and as an attribute of the employer to organize its activity, one must take into account the historical dimension of regulations, in relation to the changing contemporary economic and social realities. In this context, the need to provide for protective measures has become obvious in case of termination of individual employment contracts as a result of collective redundancies, through the application of restructuring, privatization or liquidation projects. The harmonization of national and European provisions on collective redundancy procedure over time is a sine qua non condition for assuring protection to employees, which involves first and foremost, the correct transposition into national law of Directive 59/98 / EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to collective redundancies.
