This article analyses three cumulative situations of inequality suffered by seasonal low-skilled migrant workers in Europe: i) reinforced inequality of bargaining power before the employer, ii) legal inequality between them and the local workforce, and iii) legal inequality between them and high-skilled migrant employees. In this regard, the prioritisation of the needs of national economies rather than a rights-based approach is promoted by the legislators. The EU Seasonal Workers Directive (SWD) is here compared to two Temporary Migration Programmes (TMPs) regulating similar migrant mobility. One of them has been in force for decades in Canada and the other entered more recently into force in New Zealand. It is shown that, despite claiming novelty, the SWD follows the same basic principles of structured and regulated inequality existing in these schemes.

参照两个类似的制度对欧盟季节性工人指令进行分析:受管制的不平等的三个维度
本文分析了欧洲季节性低技能移徙工人遭受的三种不平等累积情况:i)雇主面前讨价还价能力的不平等加剧; ii)他们与当地劳动力之间的法律不平等,以及iii)他们与上层劳动力之间的法律不平等技能的农民工。在这方面,立法者提倡优先考虑国民经济的需求,而不是基于权利的方法。此处将欧盟季节性工人指令(SWD)与规范相似移民流动性的两个临时移民计划(TMP)进行比较。其中一个已经在加拿大生效了几十年,另一个已经在新西兰生效了。结果表明,尽管声称具有新颖性,
