Following numerous scandals, subcontracting has become a topic of interest for academics and journalists alike, and its negative impact on employment and working conditions has been widely condemned. This report sets out the various ways that subcontracting undermines labour laws in the EU. Using case studies we seek to demonstrate that subcontracting is not a temporary solution to deal with specific market situations or a necessary solution to performing tasks that do not belong to the company’s core business, but is instead the business model, normalising exploitation and social dumping so that companies can increase their profits.

Abstract
Following numerous scandals, subcontracting has become a topic of interest for academics and journalists alike, and its negative impact on employment and working conditions has been widely condemned. This report sets out the various ways that subcontracting undermines labour laws in the EU. Using case studies we seek to demonstrate that subcontracting is not a temporary solution to deal with specific market situations or a necessary solution to performing tasks that do not belong to the company’s core business, but is instead the business model, normalising exploitation and social dumping so that companies can increase their profits.File in questo prodotto:
