In the UK, the agency workers feel discriminated against, abused and treated as second class employees, a TUC report claims. Nearly half of 2,700 agency workers surveyed for the study got less holiday entitlement than permanent staff. One in three said they earned less than directly employed staff for doing the same work and three quarters said they were entitled to less redundancy pay. A government consultation on giving agency workers equal treatment to those directly employed closes on 31 July.
When employees feel this way, it would surely result in pending work and things not moving. Government needs to take steps to improve their morale.
