From the European Commission to the "Polish Plumber". A Multi-Level Approach to the posting of workers

ENTRAID
This project provides a transversal analysis on the legal framework of posted work, based on a collective and multidisciplinary resarch (law, economics, political science, sociology). It examines the regulation of labour markets at the European, national and local levels. While the posting of workers has increased since the enlargement of the European Union to the East, the denunciation of social dumping and fraud has grown in public debate. The rise of freedom to provide services is therefore coupled with a strengthening of Community standards and control policies that are mainly "importers" of posted workers, such as France. Moreover, the localised implementation of these standards and policies varies. Our research group is multidisciplinary, inter-institutional (CNRS, Université de Bretagne Occidentale and Uniwersytet Warszawski) and international (France, Poland). Our research design combines qualitative and quantitative methods, and draws on contributions from European studies.
