Precarious work

Ljudski rad je svrsishodna i svjesno organizirana djelatnost ljudi, radi postizanja nekog korisnog učinka, kojim se može zadovoljiti određena vrsta osobnih ili zajedničkih potreba. Prekarijat je termin kojim se naziva prilično heterogenu grupu ljudi s obzirom na njihov društveni status i položaj na tržištu rada. Svaki oblik nestandardnog rada može se smatrati prekarnim radom, radom koji odudara od situacije tradicionalnog modela zaposlenja: stabilnog radnog mjesta s punim radnim vremenom gdje radnik ima jednog poslodavca po čijem nalogu radi, posao traje kontinuirano kroz cijelu godinu i radnik očekuje da će biti zaposlen na neodređeno te uživa određene beneficije i oblike osiguranja. Cilj ovog rada je prikazati pojavu, koju neki autori nazivaju, „nove društvene klase“ te prikazati metodološke probleme definiranja i istraživanja prekarnog rada. Prekarni, nestandardni rad, u većini slučajeva nije izabran voljom radnika i potencijalno je opasan, stoga je važna uloga sindikata koji bi se trebali više posvetiti prevenciji prekarnog rada.Human activity is a deliberate and consciously organized activity of people in order to achieve some beneficial effect that can meet a certain kind of personal or common needs. Prekaraj is a term that is called a fairly heterogeneous group of people with regard to their social status and position in the labor market. Any form of non-standard work can be considered as a precarious work, a work that differs from the situation of a traditional employment model: a stable full-time job where the worker has one employer on whose order he works, the job is ongoing throughout the year and the worker expects to be employed indefinite and enjoy certain benefits and forms of insurance. The aim of this thesis is to show phenomenon, called by some authors, “new social classes” and to present the methodological problems of defining and investigating precarious work. Excessive, non-standard work, in most cases, was not chosen by the will of the workers and it is potentially dangerous, so it is important the role of the trade unions which should be more dedicated to the prevention of precarious work
