Labor Legislation Bulletin (DEN) was founded in 1945 by George Petinis, Pericles Rizos, John Kambouris and Averkios Karalis, then Public Servants, and the first issue circulated on the
10h of August 1945.
INFORMATION
DEN is written in moderate demotiki language, and in the traditional polytonic system of writing. It affords timely information as to current developments in the domain of labor and social security law.
DEN addresses itself, among others, to firms, big and small, lawyers (mostly attorneys and judges), syndicalists, accountants and public services. The content of each issue is more or less as follows: First an article on Labor Law or on Social Security Law is included, followed by a selection of Labor Law Jurisprudence and Social Security Law Jurisprudence along with extensive excerpts or summaries of recent judicial decisions of importance, commented upon whenever is judged necessary. Then the full and annotated text of new Collective Labor Contracts and Arbirtrators' Decisions along with tables of Salaries is included and immediately afterwards the new Labor Legislation as well as the new Social Security Legislation. Towards the end of each issue there is a section under the title of "Correspondence - Labor Issues", wherein are listed answers to subscribers' questions, pieces of practical advice and other pieces of information concerning current issues. In the back cover of each issue, there is a comprehensive index (alphabetic and arithmetic) of the issue's contents. Thanks to the tables of salaries, the informative comments on the judicial decisions as well as on Collective Labor Contracts and Arbitrators' Decisions, and (thanks to the) pieces of practical advice, regularly published therein, DEN provides his subscribers as well as the Public Services (Labor Inspection Bureaus throughout Greece etc.) with thoroughly valid information and is generally considered as exceptionally trustworthy and up-to-date.
DEN has been awarded with an Athens Academy Award (1996) and is a non-political scientific journal. You may find more information on DEN in a special article written by Prof. Dr. Har. Ghoutos, entitled "The first 50 years of DEN" (cf. DEN, issue 1236/12-31-1995), wherein you may also find a thorough list of all articles published in DEN in the time-span 1945-1995.
