Kurzbeschreibung:
This paper focuses on work organised through intermediaries, often labelled labour agencies or labour contractors. The steep increase of such work is a concern for international labour unions such as ITUC and IndustryALL. Labour subcontractors ‘sever the direct employment relationship’ and create ‘indirect’ or ‘triangular’ labour relations which ‘reduce or eliminate’ the end-employer’s ‘legal responsibilities to the workers; it is a ‘triangular trap’. These conditions cheapen labour and curtail workers’ rights, compared to those of workers employed in formalised labour relations.
