lpv:translated text	". This vote entirely distorts the spirit of the directive on temporary work. Equal pay for equal work, certainly, but the key issue is the reference point. For the Commission, the reference point was clear: the company employing the worker was the reference point. Now, the salary of a temporary worker would have to be assessed according to the scale of salaries in the temporary employment agency. This is a subtle but decisive shift, because by its nature it legitimises a two-tier employment market, or worse the creation of real networks of slave traders slashing prices. Those who welcome this vote are short sighted, because establishing a salary division between temporary workers and the workers in the companies employing them deals a fatal blow to social cohesion, and that is the Achilles heel of temporary work. Integration cannot be legislated. Temporary workers have more accidents than other workers and suffer more harassment. They pay very dearly for their status. The social reality is intractable. If they are paid less for identical work in a company, they will lose any chance of being integrated into it. Are temporary workers just like any other worker? No they are not! And this directive, which is dead before it is born, will certainly not bring them justice."@en1
