UNI Europa and Eurociett, the two EU social partners in the temporary agency work sector, have sent a letter to the Commissioner Marianne Thyssen expressing their interest in contributing to the debate on cross-border mobility and in the forthcoming labour mobility package.

In the letter, the reference is made to the European Observatory for cross-border activities in the temporary agency work sector established in the framework of the EC project in 2009. Since then, this bipartite platform provides analysis on the cross-border movement of workers and companies in the temporary agency work sector, with a special focus on the impact of the implementation of the posting of workers and temporary agency work directives. Country fact sheets with information on the national legislation, posted workers’ rights and working conditions as well as useful contacts have been compiled jointly by social partners. 

UNI Europa and Eurociett has asked the Commission to clarify how Temporary Agency Work Directive and Posting of Workers Directive apply to posted agency workers. For UNI Europa, the equal treatment of posted agency workers is the key issue.
