The PM is under pressure from the trade unions to close a loophole in EU law which the unions say enables foreign companies to discriminate against British workers.

It follows two rulings by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) over the interpretation of the EU's Posted Workers Directive, which seeks to ensure companies cannot get round domestic labour laws and pay rates by using foreign employees.

The ECJ rulings suggest a company should be free to decide how it is composed, its staffing in other words, and free to provide the services it wishes.

The most significant ruling concerned a Latvian company, Laval, which had a contract to build schools in Sweden. Laval sought to use its own Latvian workforce. Swedish unions protested. Laval went to the ECJ claiming its freedom as a company was being inhibited by the action of the Swedish unions. Its complaint was upheld.

Unions in the UK suggest this ruling has now enabled foreign companies to discriminate against British workers for jobs.
