Judgment_paragraph 37 · Ville de Mons and Zone de secours Hainaut

37The Court has held that the concept of ‘part-time workers who have an employment contract or employment relationship’ must be interpreted in accordance with national law (judgment of 1 March 2012, O’Brien, C‑393/10, EU:C:2012:110, paragraph 32). Furthermore, it is clear from the wording of Clause 2.1 of the Framework Agreement that the agreement is intended to be broad in scope. In addition, the definition of ‘part-time workers’ for the purposes of the Framework Agreement, set out in Clause 3.1, encompasses all workers without drawing a distinction according to whether their employer is in the public, or private, sector (judgment of 1 March 2012, O’Brien, C‑393/10, EU:C:2012:110, paragraph 37 and the case-law cited).
