I sin avhandling i sociologi, som utforskar nya former av arbetsorganisation inom svensk byggindustri, myntar Rasmus Ahlstrand begreppet maskerad bemanning, ett icke-tillåtet sätt att förmedla och använda arbetskraft genom underentreprenörer. Genom att hävda att de lägger ut arbete på entreprenad, maskerar företag att de i själva verket använder principer om bemanning, vilket bland annat innebär a
