While collective regulation protects temporary workers, unions are concerned that temporary agency workers are less likely to know their rights, leading to possible abuses by their employer. Even if they know their rights, temporary agency workers are less likely to seek help from a union if their rights are violated for fear of not renewing their contract. In this context, trade unions often feel the need to verify that the conditions set out in the collective agreement are actually respected.
