I think workers have a wider meaning, 包括坐办公室的STAFF和车间里干活的工人。contingent worker更强调应急,比如救灾时临时聘请的人员。Temporary是与PERMANENT 对应的,不一定是为了应急而聘请的。有的公司为了省钱,少支付一点福利,本来ON-GOING的职位,也是聘请Temporary employee,虽然称为临时,可是也有的人在一个Temporary 位置上一干就干很多年。

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  David Lin: I think this is more accurate than 临时工 which can be easily confused with temporary staff. Since the sentence has Temporary Staff that follows immediately Contigent workers, 特约雇佣人员 is a better choice.
