MEA said atypical work should not be labelled as precarious, because its flexibility benefits both employers and employees. MEA continued to say that no new laws are needed to battle illegal employment, but better enforcement, and that unethical working conditions are the responsibility of trade unions to countervail through collective bargaining. Employers are reacting to a government effort against precarious employment, in which a list of seven mandatory conditions for all subcontractors is formulated. The conditions include requirements regarding pay administration, employment status and against bogus self-employment, as well as a requirement to specify pay rates in tender proposals. The government announced on 2 July that it will revise all existing contracts and future contracts to ensure that all its subcontractors provide decent working conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.maltatoday.com.mt\u002Fen\u002Fnewsdetails\u002Fnews\u002Fnational\u002FPrecarious-Employment-Employers-Association-against-further-legislation-20130703\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.maltatoday.com.mt\u002Fen\u002Fnewsdetails\u002Fnews\u002Fnational\u002FPrecarious ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.maltatoday.com.mt\u002Fen\u002Fnewsdetails\u002Fnews\u002Fnational\u002FGovernment-steps-up-fight-against-precarious-work-20130702\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.maltatoday.com.mt\u002Fen\u002Fnewsdetails\u002Fnews\u002Fnational\u002FGovernment-steps-up-fight ...\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
