In collaboration with Lisa Berntsen and Paul De Beer (De Burcht, Scientific Research Institute for the Dutch Trade Union Movement), our colleagues Sonila Danaj and Nikko Bilitza have published an open-access article titled 'Sourcing in or sourcing out? Diverging migrant labour regimes and the use of temporary labour in the Dutch and Austrian food industries', in the European Journal of Industrial Relations. The article is based on research conducted within the framework of the JUSTMIG project. The article improves our understanding of the industrial relations dynamics that drives cross-country differences in the expansion and containment of precarious migrant labour by investigating the roles of industrial relations actors, labour market regulations and collective bargaining. The article compares the differential reliance on temporary and migrant labour in the food (and meat)-processing sectors in the Netherlands and Austria, both of which have strong corporatist industrial relations traditions.
