Does such fragmentation undermine or enhance its effectiveness? How do workers and unions navigate the complexities laid out by the architecture of the rules and institutions governing work and employment? What are the strategies that courts, unions, workers\u2019 centres, and the labour inspectorate lay out to mitigate the effects of this complexity? Do such strategies reduce the levels of risks workers face, enhance their autonomy, and pave the way for greater worker voice? We asked contributors to illuminate aspects of labour law\u2019s fragmentation in light of their research on different types of work, in different sectors, with varying regulatory frameworks intersecting, and in different national contexts. Taken together, these contributions show that the effects of labour law\u2019s fragmentation are variegated. At times, labour law\u2019s fragmentation can provide opportunities for actors to experiment with novel strategies. In other contexts, such fragmentation can leave both workers and their representatives bewildered, leading them to turn away from labour law\u2019s potential.<br><br><strong>All articles in this special issue are available free of charge in open access.
