On 22 November 2017 the committee will hold the public hearing entitled “Protection of the rights of workers in temporary or precarious employment”. During the current legislature, the Committee on Petitions has received a significant number of petitions signalling concerns of citizens employed on temporary basis or in precarious conditions.
This hearing will offer an opportunity to the MEPs, the participants, the public and other actors to reflect in a better way on the complexity of employment types with the aim of clarifying the situation of different categories of workers.
The hearing will be divided into two panels. The first panel addresses working conditions in Europe in 2017 with panellists from different academic centres and think tanks, while the second panel focuses on the legal and socio-economic impact of precarious or temporary types of contracts. During this part workers union's representatives, employers and petitioners will take the floor.
Following the panels the floor will be open for a debate.
Location : ALTIERO SPINELLI BUILDING - ROOM A3G-3
