Dear Bryan,
I think you may find some useful European information on precarity in the
construction industry on the web site of Construction Labour Research. The
unions have been dealing with a range of issues associated with the use by
employers of migrant workers recruited from countries with lower wages and
conditions on job sites in Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
There has been considerable litigation around the issue of whether such
employees should be paid based on the employment conditions in their home
country or the host country. Just google construction labour research (CLR)

Subject: [TURC] Political responses to the low waged labour market
Dear friends and colleagues:
I am researching the political response of trade unions, in Canada and abroad,
to the expansion of precarity and the low wage labour market. I'm particularly
interested in active forms of resistance through strikes but also the
contribution of unions to the ideological/policy debate. In addition, in some
countries, Spain in particular, a new political formation came about as a
result of this resistance by workers.
Any literature, academic or think tank, web sites worth visiting?
