Abstract
The posting of workers is a challenge for the (national) regulatory and job protection frameworks currently in effect in the European Union. Based on the specific case of road transport, this article analyses the discourses of the principal social and institutional stakeholders (trade unions, employers' associations, European institutions and the labour inspectorate) and identifies the controversies that have arisen around the definition, regulation and assessment of worker posting and, in general, the direction in which the European unification project is heading.
