“…An international organisation, the Confédération Internationale des Enterprises du Travail Temporaire (CIETT), was also established in Paris in 1967. The choice to base CIETT in France was not an obvious one given the UK TEA market was the cradle and the largest market for agency labour in Europe (Belkacem and Kornig, 2011). On the other hand, CIETT was a powerful advocate for the French TEA sector’s quest for legal recognition and greater legitimacy.…”

“…In particular, the employment needs of individual agency workers were taken into account for the first time. These changes effectively institutionalised the role of TEAs in public employment policy by making them official partners of the state employment service, something that had been gradually developing, unofficially, for some time (Belkacem and Kornig, 2011). The significance of the changes was acknowledged by the then vice-president of SETT: Twenty years ago we were considered as creators of precariousness.…”

“…This history of the sector’s growth and institutionalisation is a compelling illustration of Peck and Theodore’s (2007b) variegated capitalism and the analytical significance of multi-scalarity. The ‘ construction sociale ’ (Belkacem and Kornig, 2011: 1) of the French TEA market has produced a distinctive national sector that has been a vector for labour market flexibility, and thereby an incremental neoliberalisation of French employment relations. The economic context certainly encouraged this.…”

“…The role of TEAs as ‘strategic, profit-seeking actors that play an active role in the ongoing restructuring of labour markets’ (Jordhus-Lier et al, 2015: 115) is well illustrated by the history of the sector in France. While there has been a revival of this history in recent years in France (Belkacem and Kornig, 2011), it is relatively absent in the predominantly Anglophone literature on the TEA sector.…”

This article is an historical account of the contested growth of the temporary employment agency sector in France. It utilises a variegated capitalism conceptual framework to explain the evolution of a distinctive temporary employment agency sector and regulatory environment under French politicoinstitutional conditions that was contingent upon global developments. The article charts the role of large agencies in constructing a market for agency labour despite wide scale cultural, political and trade union opposition. In order to build legitimacy, agencies sought partners in the labour movement from the late 1960s onwards. By the late 1990s, the sector had grown significantly within a gradually more permissive regulatory framework despite ongoing but fragmenting opposition. The article demonstrates that the growth of agency labour was not an inevitable outcome of global pressure for labour market deregulation. It also reveals how national regulatory institutions alone are not a sufficient bulwark against global labour market pressures.

Cet article s’appuie sur les résultats de deux enquêtes exploratoires sur les conditions de travail des intérimaires. Il montre que les pratiques de détachement et les caractéristiques des missions expliquent une forte vulnérabilité de ces travailleurs aux accidents de travail et aux maladies professionnelles. Ces travailleurs, très souvent détachés dans l’urgence, doivent affronter des contextes de travail différents et évolutifs et être opérationnels rapidement. Cet article montre alors la difficulté qu’ont les intérimaires à se constituer des marges de liberté dans leur travail afin de se prémunir contre des risques d’accidents du travail. En effet, la faible durée et la discontinuité des missions d’intérim ne favorisent pas les apprentissages, empêchant ou limitant l’accumulation d’expériences nécessaires pour se protéger contre de tels risques.
