Temporary agency workers and the economic crisis in EU and Greece
Abstract
The purpose of this article is to study the temporary agency workers. The motives of the employers-workers that ask or offer work respectively, through the Temporary Work Agencies are stated. Also, an effort is made to go further into studying the main features that play a determining role in the operation of the phenomenon and in the organization of the labour relations. The article offers an overview of the institutional context and of the rights that the “temporary agency workers” have, as enshrined pursuant to the European Directive 2008/104/EC in national laws. Finally, their extent in the EU is analyzed, both before the economic crisis began and also after its onset.
