Mini-jobbers in the retail sector are facing highly precarious working conditions and widespread violation of worker rights. This is what was found in an exploratory study based on semi-structured interviews with managers and employees in 22 outlets of 18 different retail companies and two retail head-offices in Saxony (former East Germany). Even though German labour law requires all employees to be treated equally, the unemployment rate of around 15 percent in the region induces many mini-jobbers to accept wages almost half the collective bargaining rate. As a rule they don't get paid holidays and sickness absence, are called in to work and sent home at short notice, receive hardly any training and can be made redundant any time since many do not have a written work contract. Confronte...

As a reaction to the deep crisis of German trade unions, observers as well as union leaders have agreed in the 1990s that organizing atypical workers is a matter of outstanding importance for the future of unions. However, what do unions actually do besides paying lip service to organize atypical workers and to improve their work and pay conditions? Which strategies do German unions pursue? The article addresses these questions by analyzing union strategies towards call centre and temporary-employment agency workers. The article shows that in both cases a similar historical pattern can be detected. The initial period of ignorance was overcome by a period of discovery when the lower standards of atypical workers in call centres and agency-work impaired the unions' capacity to pursue thei...

In comparison with other European countries, temporary agency work is quite wide-spread in the Netherlands. The German parliament has deregulated the legislation on temporary agency work in 2003, taking into account the Dutch experience. The aim of our paper is to investigate the reasons for differences in the use of temporary agency work between the two countries. Thus, we first compare the regulation of temporary agency work in both countries and provide an overview of its structure, development and extent in Germany and the Netherlands. We show that - contrary to the prevailing view - the share of temporary agency workers in the Netherlands has decreased since 2000. One reason is that the Dutch government has extensively regulated temporary agency work since 1998/1999. Despite these ...
