Representativeness of the European social partner organisations: Temporary agency work sector — 2025

Published: 24 October 2025

This study provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the actors involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for temporary agency work (TAW). Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted, their role and effective participation in the European sectoral social dialogue and their capacity to negotiate agreements.

The aim of Eurofound’s studies on representativeness is to identify the relevant national and European social partner organisations in the field of industrial relations in the EU Member States. This study identifies UNI Europa Agency Workers (representing employees) and the World Employment Confederation – Europe (representing employers) as the most representative European level social partner organisations in the TAW sector.
