European Institute for Construction Labour Research. "Construction in the Year 2020". CLR News, 2012/4 The quarterly CLR-News has its 20th anniversary. In the opening ‘Twenty years in hindsight’ Jan Cremers (AIAS) picks up two items that have been prominent on the EU agenda. The first is about the EC-policy related to the future perspectives of the construction industry. Over the years, several authors have criticised the EC approach that has often solely focussed on low cost and competitiveness. The second item is the clash between economic freedoms and workers’ rights, notably in the temporary cross-border posting of workers. With the enforcement Directive of posting rules on the agenda, this is a topical item, as also demonstrated by an included EFBWW-leaflet. Gerhard Bosch comes up with scenarios for the industry that can be read as an update of his book ‘Building Chaos’, written in 2003. EFBWW general secretary Sam Hägglund has listed the lacunae of rights in the EU. Colin Williams contributes with an outlook on undeclared work in construction. Charles Woolfson calls his description of the radical recalibrating of labour rights across the European space, in the name of restoring flexibility in the labour market and competitive dynamism to the European economy, a ‘warning parable’.Télécharger la revue : CLRNews4-2012SOMMAIREJan Cremers, Twenty years in hindsightGerard Bosch, Building chaos or Cooperation – Scenarios of the future development of the construction industrySam Hägglund, Cheap labour as business model in the EU – the lacunae of rights and the spread of precarisationColin Williams, Undeclared labour in the European construction industry in 2020 and beyondCharles Woolfson, The future of the construction industry: A Baltic view
