EDM 692 - Agency workers 14.01.2008Miller, Andrew That this House notes there are 1.4 million agency workers in the UK and that many new jobs are considered temporary and are often filled by agency staff; recognises that such staff are often used to cope with fluctuations in demand and form a legitimate part of the labour market but considers that they are subjected to inferior pay and conditions and blatant exploitation; further recognises that agency workers are sometimes employed to undercut permanent workforces, creating divisive conditions and resentment; and calls on the Government to take appropriate action to establish the principle of equal pay and conditions for agency workers compared with their permanent counterparts. |
