This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generation ago, temporary work was practically outlawed. During the 1950s, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) clearly stated (in request to a question from the Swedish government) that temporary agency work was prohibited by ILO Convention 96 regarding fee-charging placement. Trade unions, of course, were in complete agreement, both because temporary work arrangements undermined the situation of permanent workers and deprived the temporary workers themselves of equal treatment guarantees. Yet persistent employers, always ready to find ways around this prohibition, have gone from strength to strength until today the role of private employment services is offered up to the public as that of an active link between employer and employee and an equal benefit to both. It is even defended as a force that effects the social integration of long-term unemployed, even of non-qualified or less-qualified workers. It is indeed along these lines that the proposed European directive on the working conditions of temporary workers justifies its requirement of Member States to discontinue any restrictions or prohibitions on temporary work for certain groups of workers, sectors or areas of economic activity. But how justifiable is this idea of the generalized leasing of employees? How acceptable is it under both labour law and social justice considerations? Although these important questions have been asked repeatedly for many years, no answers acceptable to all parties have yet been found. Accordingly, in April 2003 a group of outstanding authorities- practitioners, ILO officials, academics, policymakers, jurists, and labour experts-met in Brussels to reconsider these issues in light of the ongoing discussion on the proposed directive and the major labour market developments which have taken place in many countries over the last few years. Among the considerations raised there (and recorded in this book) are the following:the potential role of private employment agencies as fully integrated manpower providers;the wages and working conditions of workers who are put at the disposal of users;guarantees of equal treatment and other social protection provisions for temporary workers;the possible development of a dual-employer scheme of agency and user; and, continuing work 'diversification' and its acceptability to the various actors and interests involved. These papers, reports and panels merit great attention because the matters they discuss will determine the way our labour markets-at national, European and international level-will function for years to come. No practitioner, policymaker, or academic in the field of employment and labour relations can afford to ignore this very significant book. This volume contains reports given at the International Conference on Temporary Agency Work and the Information Society, held on 28-29 April 2003 at the Royal Flemish Academy, Brussels, and sponsored jointly by the Academy, the Euro-Japan Institute for Law and Business, and the Society for International and Social Cooperation.

Download or read book Private Employment Agencies The Impact of ILO Convention 181 1997 and the Judgement of the European Court of Justice of 11 December 1997 written by Marco Biagi and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-04-09 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, the public employment agency reigned like a King over labour markets. Under the precept of ILO Convention NR 96 of 1949 on Fee Charging Employment Agencies, the public employment office enjoyed a fully-fledged monopoly of the labour markets of many countries. `Labour is not a commodity' was (and is) the principle. There was no room in the labour market for private fee charging employment agencies. In those early years, following World War II, the monopoly of the Official Employment Office was widely accepted and not really discussed as a matter of principle. the reason was simple. the labour market was fairly uniform and not really diversified. Ford-ism was at its highest and Europe was enjoying 30 glorious years of ongoing economic growth. There was social welfare and economic progress. the social partners (employers' associations and trade unions) effectively managed labour relations in a more or less centralised way. Those days are gone. Indeed, since then tremendous political and ideological changes have taken place in the labour markets. the most significant political change has been the establishment of the European Union and the EEA with the accompanying free movement of labour as a fundamental right, thus creating a European labour market. There is now an explosion of private services in the labour markets, to fulfil the increasingly specific needs of enterprises. International bodies like the ILO and the EU have adapted their standards to these new developments. the ILO adopted a new Convention in 1997 (No.181) concerning private employment agencies, while landmark case law of the European Court of Justice abolished the monopoly of the Official Employment Office regarding the labour market. Private enterprises are now able to propose a total package of services for the labour markets, vocational training included. the scope of possibilities for putting workers at the disposal of users has been dramatically widened. These and other issues were discussed at an international conference, convened by the Euro-Japan Institute for Law and Business (Leuven, 1998) in co-operation with the ILO and the EU. This Bulletin contains the discussion and reports on developments in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, the Netherlands, UK and the USA. It looks ahead and prepares its readers for the jump into the 21st century.

Download or read book Seasonal Workers in Mediterranean Agriculture written by Jörg Gertel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last three decades there has been a rapid expansion of intensive production of fresh fruit and vegetables in the Mediterranean regions of south and west Europe. Much of this depends on migrating workers for seasonal labour, including from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Latin America. This book is the first to address global agro-migration complexes across the region. It is argued that both intensive agricultural production and related working conditions are highly dynamic. Regional patterns have developed from small-scale family farming to become an industrialized part of the global agri-food system, which increasingly depends on seasonal labour. Simultaneously, consumer demand for year-round supply has caused relocations of the industry within Europe; areas of intensive greenhouse production have moved further south and even into North Africa. The authors investigate this Mediterranean agri-food system that transcends borders and is largely constituted by invisible seasonal work. By revealing the story of food commodities loaded with implications of private profit seeking, exploitation, exclusion and multiple insecurities, the book unmasks the hidden costs of fresh food provisioning. Three case study areas are considered in detail: the French region of Provence, a traditional centre of fresh fruit and vegetable cultivation; the Spanish Almería region where intensive production has, accelerated dramatically since the 1970s; and Morocco where counter-seasonal production has recently been expanding. The book also includes commentaries that refer to complemetary insights on US-Mexico, Philippines-Canada and South Pacific mobilities.
Download or read book Employment Contracts and Well Being Among European Workers written by Nele De Cuyper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temporary employment contracts are now commonplace in business. However the move towards such employment structures has a significant, and hitherto little understood impact on 'the psychological contract' between employee and organizations. This book is amongst the first to tackle this problem. With detailed research findings from seven countries: Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK and (for a non-European perspective) Israel, it presents an integrated model of the effects of temporary work. The model incorporates key recent trends, including the expansion of non-permanent employment as a persistent form of employment flexibility, the increasing importance of the psychological contract, and the diversity of the European labour market as a result of state legislation. By presenting the results of an overview of the research literature on this contemporary labour market trend this book is of real value to researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La penetración de las tecnologías de la información en los diversos ámbitos de la vida cotidiana está produciendo profundos cambios en todos los sectores; en algunos, particularmente en la televisión digital, se están viviendo momentos decisivos que conformarán un nuevo sistema comunicativo social. En este contexto, las televisiones locales serán unos agentes privilegiados para la formación de ese nuevo sistema audiovisual más acorde con las sociedades actuales, pero para conseguirlo es necesario acabar con la situación de incertidumbre normativa en que la actitud errática de la administración les ha obligado a sobrevivir desde que hace ya veinte años aparecieron las primeras televisiones locales en nuestro país. El libro hace un recorrido por la historia de la televisión, analizando el contexto socioeconómico, político y comunicativo en que se implantó y se ha venido desarrollando para caracterizar su momento actual. El texto se complementa con el informe detallado de la situación en que se encuentra el conjunto de las televisiones locales que operan en la provincia de Castellón, como muestra significativa de la crítica posición en que está el sector para afrontar la inminente transición a la TDT (televisión digital terrestre) que se le ha impuesto con tanta urgencia y que va acabar por determinar el equilibrio y la pluralidad de nuestro sistema comunicativo durante los próximos años y, en definitiva, el modelo de desarrollo futuro de nuestra sociedad.
