insourcing
n.— «Under the Aer Lingus deal workers who returned to the airline would have to operate on the basis of full flexibility and mobility within and between departments, buildings and work locations.…For unions, such leave-and-return arrangements, or “insourcing” as they are called, are preferable to alternatives where staff are let go and replaced by personnel supplied through employment agencies.» —“Airline’s deal will be watched closely” Irish Times (Dublin, Ireland) Dec. 3, 2008.
