Questo scritto è destinato al Liber Amicorum per Giuseppe Santoro-Passarelli

The essay analyzes the subject of individual autonomy in the employment relationship, with particular reference to the agreements to modify the subordinate worker's duties and to the agreements on the powers of the employer in "agile work". On the basis of a series of suggestions, including the capabilities approach, the idea of "regulatory subjectification" is proposed as a new way to increase freedom and the rights of the worker, even in the context of a relationship that remains structurally asymmetric.
