Abstract: Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to discuss some lessons drawn from a comparative approach to the issue of the effectiveness in labour law. Design/methodology/approach - The paper discusses the consensus on variable ineffectiveness in labour law and describes some different ways of improving effectiveness. Findings - The issue of effectiveness is not specific to labour law. However, labour law seems particularly subject to ineffectiveness, due to the imbalance of power in labour relations, resulting from the inherent inequality of the parties. A comparative discussion necessarily explored the “standard” issues of application, monitoring and, sanctions to deal with the ineffectiveness of labour law. The present debate particularly highlighted the problems in drafting and content of the law that contribute to non‐compliance. Originality/value - The paper raises the following question: what effective labour law and for whom?
