Neoliberalism Workshop: Contradictions in liberal reforms: The regulation of labour subcontracting

Professor Mundlak outlined the legal problems, and the principle of residual responsibility associated with the triangular relationship between the worker, the (sub-contracted) provider of the service and the direct employer.
Although conducted as empirical research on temporary and sub-contracted workers in Israel, he argued that the study’s findings could be seen as a prophecy of what is currently happening worldwide in terms of employer liability and workers’ rights.
This talk was given at the Neoliberalism, Employment and the Law workshop at Wolfson College, Oxford, hosted the Foundation for Law, Justice and Society in November 2015.
