The Advocate General of the ECJ presented an opinion on a case focusing on restrictions of the use of agency workers. The case could affect how such restrictions are imposed through collective labour agreements throughout Europe.
The Advocate General of the ECJ presented an opinion on a case focusing on restrictions of the use of agency workers. The case could affect how such restrictions are imposed through collective labour agreements throughout Europe. The opinion is non-binding, but is likely to serve as important guidance for the ECJ, which is anticipated to arrive at the same conclusion. The Advocate General found that the directive does not prohibit the Finnish restriction on the use of agency workers. A final verdict is expected in early 2015.
