Interest group of North Bavarian temporary employment agencies

The North Bavarian Temporary Employment Association (INZ) was an employers' association founded in 1987 in the field of temporary work , in which around 330 members were organized. In 2005 he joined the Mittelstandsvereinigung Zeitarbeit e. V. (MVZ) to form the employers' association of medium-sized personnel service providers .

The association gained importance by the fact that, following the amendment to the Temporary Employment Act on January 1, 2003 through the Hartz reforms (" Hartz I "), under its managing director Norbert Grünwald, it signed the first collective agreement in the field of temporary work with the collective bargaining community of Christian trade unions for temporary work and personnel service agencies (CGZP). At the time, it said it had around 40 member companies with around 10,000 employees. The wage level was 40% below what the Bundesverband Zeitarbeit BZA had already negotiated with the DGB . As a result, the BZA did not sign the agreement, but subsequently negotiated wages with the DGB , which in the lowest wage group were a third lower than the statutory minimum wage in the main construction trade . This established low wages in the temporary work sector and the companies began to no longer use temporary workers only to cushion peak orders, but to lay off permanent staff and employ temporary workers on a permanent basis. There was also an increase in the incentives not to directly hire staff made redundant for operational reasons , but only as temporary workers (“ revolving door effect ”).

In 2004, members who did not want to support the merger with the MVZ organized themselves into their own employers' association Qualified Personnel Service Provider Mercedarius e. V.

In May 2012, the collective agreements concluded were found to be void due to the CGZP's inability to collect collective agreements from the outset.
