Highlights - Oral Question on 'Tackling precarious and temporary employment in the European Union' - Committee on Petitions 10-04-2018 04:10 PM CEST At the meeting of 24 April, the Committee will consider a draft oral question to the European Commission regarding precarious and temporary employment in the EU. The question points to concerns raised in petitions on tackling various forms of precarious employment, such as the use of zero hour contracts as well as the abusive use of fixed-term contracts in both the public and private sector. The question asks what measures the Commission is taking in order to address these issues and ensure correct implementation of Union labour legislation, given the number of petitions received and the PETI public hearing on this subject which took place on 22 November 2017.

The PETI Committee regularly receives petitions on these issues and the opinion calls on EMPL to take into account PETI amendments to the proposal, focusing mostly on improving disability and pension benefits.
