Unite fights for rights for temporary & agency workers

Unite is stepping up its campaign for legislation to ensure the equal treatment of temporary and agency workers. 

Along with other trade unions, Unite is supporting the second reading of a Private Members Bill due in the House of Commons on 22nd February 2008. The Bill is being led by Unite Labour MP Andrew Miller and aims to bring an end to the widespread exploitation of temporary and agency Workers.

Unite believes that UK legislation is needed to end the scourge of widespread abuses and guarantee equal rights and treatment for over 1.4 million agency workers in the UK.
