Abstract: The main objective of this article was to examine the European Union Posting of Workers Directive as an instrument for the internal labour market to achieve social cohesion. A posted worker is an employee that the employer has sent to a territory of a Member State (other than the State where he/she normally works) to perform his/her tasks during a given period. The latest revision (PWD 2018/957) has allowed the introduction of amendments to the posting of workers legislation, which improved the previous law and reinforced the legal protection of posted workers. Its objective is to reinforce the posting of workers’ policy to eradicate some prejudicious practices detected in applying the previous Directive, such as inequitable work conditions and unfair competition, which are obstacles to social cohesion. This paper analyses the Directive as a key instrument for social cohesion in light of the modifications introduced to improve the Directive (PWD 2018/957). Proposals for improvement of the Directive for social cohesion are formulated in terms of cooperation, availability of information, and inspectorate, which still require more attention and reformulation for better labour mobility of posting of workers in the European Union. Some key practical implications are discussed.
