Rights for Agency Workers

What is the government up to? it wants to set up a commission to investigate what rights agency workers should have. That sounds like a delaying tactic to me and many others and a sop to big business. Agency workers should be given the same rights as proper full & part-time workers get. At the moment agency workers are the second class workers of the British economy. It cannot be right that agency workers do the same job as ordinary employees of a company but get less pay and less rights over overtime pay, holidays ect.

The labour party was invented to represent the interest of the workers in Parliament, i joined the party over its commitment for a minimum wage & pledge to sign the European Social chapter. Those were the workers issues of the 1990s giving agency workers the same rights as ordinary employees is the employment issue of this decade and the government should do what it is supposed to do, stand up for fairness in the workplace and leave exploitation up to the Tories.
