Opportunity to lobby the European Commision on flexible labour rights
Posted 24th January 2007

The European Commission has issued a Green Paper for consultation. The paper discusses developing a more flexible system of social and labour rights to match the more flexible labour market of the 21st century.

This is an opportunity for European groups to lobby the European Commission to point out that homeworkers are the most flexible workers who are generally outside employment protection; and to make suggestions for how this can be changed.

For more information see the European Homeworking Group page. Comments have to be submitted by 31st March 2007
