[HIGHLIGHTS] What does the CJEU ruling mean for interim workers and how many public workers does it affect?

Court of Justice of the European Union issued a ruling this Thursday urging Spain to make long-term interim public workers permanent. Ruling confirms the "precariousness" and "abuse" of chaining of temporary contracts.

How many interims does it affect? Javier Araúz, a lawyer who has been litigating for years to obtain permanent employment for public workers, maintains that the figure would be more than one million. The Navas & Cusí firm, for its part, reduces the figure to 800,000 public employees.
