Launch of European Observatory on Cross Border Temporary Agency Work

 

UNI-Europa and Eurociett, the European sectoral social partners for the temporary agency work sector, have officially launched the European Observatory on Cross Border activities within Temporary Agency Work (TAW).

 

The European Observatory has been launched to provide analysis on the cross border movement for workers and companies in the TAW sector, with a special focus on the impact of the implementation of the Posting of Workers and Temporary Agency Work directives.

 

It is seen as an innovative and concrete European tool, which will be steered by an expert group of members of Eurociett, UNI-Europa and researchers working in this field. It is designed to support the work of the European social partners to:

• Ensure a better understanding of the reality of cross border activities within the temporary agency work sector, through research and data collection;
• To gather and analyse good and bad practices with regards to cross-border activities;
• To prepare practical information tools for temporary work agencies and temporary agency workers wishing to work abroad.
