During an economic downturn such as the one we are currently experiencing, certain groups of workers always pay the highest price. Precarious workers are, in fact, facing this crisis without the safeguards that other workers can enjoy. Furthermore, within this category, ... | null |

The permanent jobs which have been lost during the economic recession will certainly not be restored, but will be replaced by atypical and very atypical labour contracts. This will re... | null |

All too often, women have to accept working conditions that are anything but decent. A close watch therefore needs to be kept on the situation of female workers, particularly those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Women who r... | null |

Oreste Rossi | MEP | ID | en | it | 2010-10-19T00:00:00 | 2010 | Explanations of voteVideo of the speechesPV | Women are being hit harder by the current economic crisis precisely because they are a more sensitive category, in that their work is normally not confined to the workplace but also extends to the home and family. Most precarious work is done by women, who therefore find themselves with no job security, on low pay and... | null |

The economic crisis has contributed to destabilisation of the labour market. Employers have reduced employment or have employed temporary workers, offering them inferior financial terms.
