cessió il·legal de treballadors


Definition from Sindicat CGT:
Aquestes empreses practiquen una cosa que pot ser caracteritzada amb un terme encunyat a l’Estat espanyol, el “bodyshopping” -un invent similar al ja insubstituïble “fúting”-i que fonamenten els seus ingressos en la contractació temporal o per obra, a treballadors/es de poca experiència i baixes exigències salarials, que posteriorment seran “revenuts” per hores a terceres empreses, com professionals altament qualificats i amb una suposada gran experiència.

Example sentence(s):
  • En un sector on la precarietat, la subcontractació i la cessió il·legal de treballadors són gairebé la norma [...]. - Sindicat CGT  

Explanation:
Els exemples en anglès tenen una connotació neutra o més aviat positiva, mentre que aquest equivalent té una connotació negativa molt marcada. Serà vàlid només en alguns contextos.
