Agency of labour in a flexible pan-European labour market : a qualitative study of migrant practices and trade union strategies in the Netherlands
2015
Regulatory frameworks on intra-EU mobility and flexible cross-border employment relations have stimulated competition on labour costs by recruiting migrants via cheaper labour market regimes.

En el siglo XXI el mundo está más conectado que nunca. Los bienes y las tecnologías se intercambian a través de un sistema de comercio mundial bien organizado y regulado entre los Estados nacionales. La Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) es una institución sobrenatural que regula el comercio entre sus 164 miembros. Un logro monumental de esta larga marcha de la historia es la aparición de los derechos humanos. Los derechos humanos son…
