From 3 - 10 October 2009, the EMF and IMF are organising a global campaign against precarious work.
On 7 October 2009, the world day for decent work is taking place.

The objective is clear:

• The massive expansion of precarious work must be stopped
• Where precarious work does exist, wages and conditions must be equal to those of regular workers and full coverage of social security should be guaranteed
• Workers should be directly hired and indirect employment discouraged
• Basic job security has to be guaranteed, as well as full protection in the field of health and safety

Therefore urgent trade union action is required. The global action day is a clear signal to employers and governments all over the world that this is no longer acceptable.
