The free movement of workers during a state of emergency
The free movement of workers during a state of emergency

Summary/Abstract: The free movement of workers is one of the pillars of the entire construction of the Union, being clearly provided for in the treaties. The right of the citizen to look for a job, the right to receive and the possibility to accept job offers from employers in the member states are elements that shape the legal migration for a lucrative purpose. However, for the first time since the establishment of the communities, a state of medical emergency, the SARS-COVID 2 pandemic, brutally restricted not only the migration flow for lucrative purposes, but also the movement of people within the union. Without an exhaustive approach, for obvious reasons related to the evolution of the pandemic and the progressive measures taken by states, the paper will analyze the applicable regulatory framework, the elements related to workers' health rights, as well as a brief presentation of exceptions applied during this period.
