Abstract

The impact of digitalisation on labour law and industrial relations is not restricted to new forms of work organisation and employment such as crowd working. Digitalisation also appears in the form of legal technology providers who standardise the processing of legal cases with the help of online tools and legal robots. This paper aims at an exploration of forms and ramifications of the expansion of legal technologies in labour law for the actors and institutions of the German industrial relations system. On the basis of an analysis of paradigmatic cases of legal technology providers in individual and collective labour law, we suggest that new developments of the digitalisation in labour law result in new opportunities, but also challenges for actors of interest representation, and that trade unions and works councils should take an active role in this process.
