Abstract :
Temporary Agency Work (TAW) is a flexible
form of employment, which has been introduced recently
in the Greek legal order. Gradually, its role in the labor
market is strengthened as an important factor in tackling
unemployment and meeting the demands of employers
for increased flexibility in the modern workplace. As a
result, the state has provided for the institutionalization
of a relevant legal framework and industrial relations
have been transformed by the use of this new form of
employment, leading to wider implications for the labor
market, the businesses and the economy. This article
presents the concept and the legislation of TAW in Greece
and investigates the transformation of industrial relations
in light of its wider impact assessment. It is evident from
the research literature that especially the content of
industrial relations and the working environment have
changed significantly and it is of crucial importance to
develop policies that will protect basic employees' rights,
as adapted to the new conditions.
