European Regulations on the Regim of Casual Workers

Abstract

An extensive growth of casual jobs (temporary jobs, part-time jobs, self-employment) has been observed. Although trade unions have battled against employment itself becoming casual, the new forms of employment and their impact on workers and employment relationships are in the process of being understood. While trade unions are aware of this transformation, they are still seeking appropriate means to combat it. The main aim of the investigation is to study the forms of representation of casual workers in Europe.
