Unite reaction to a deal on agency work
20 May 2008
Unite, Britain's biggest union has hailed today's deal on agency
work as a landmark in workers' rights.
Unite, Joint General Secretary, Tony Woodley says, "This is a
landmark deal for 1.4 million agency workers currently working in
the UK. The government has listened, acted and paved the way to
equal treatment in the workplace. It is now much harder for
employers to treat agency workers as dispensable labour, hired and
fired at will. Unite will now be concentrating its efforts on
organising agency workers across the country to ensure that
exploitation is stamped out."Contact: Ciaran Naidoo 07768 931 315
