| Abstract: | This paper studies how labour unions influence the use of employment intermediaries. Employment intermediaries, such as temporary help agencies (THAs) and contract companies, are commonly believed to undemine the power of labour unions, by fracturing the collectivism that characterises unions. However, these arrangements may also serve as a buffer in the workplace - protecting the regular workers from fluctuations in labour demand. The analyses are based on 1629 private sector establishments. |
