Agency workers deal just a staging post
The Government announced yesterday a deal between the CBI and the TUC, so that agency workers will gain near equal rights with regularly employed workers - but only after 12 weeks (3 months).
Many who camapigned for the Agency Workers Bill will feel disappointed at the 3 month condition which will lead to obvious further abuses by employers deliberately laying people off after 2 months and 29 days.
This agreement can only be seen as a staging post to the full implementation of Labour leader John Smith's famous commitment to full employment rights for all workers from day one of their employment.

John - according to what I've heard, the deal is that it won't be implemented until EU agreement anyway - so this 'deal' may never become a reality, and certainly not for several months, if not years.
What is the point of the TUC if this is the best it can do?
I agree with anonymous - the deal doesn't even cover pensions or sick pay - it's a joke, much like the TUC and Labour these days.
Many EU countries already have full equal rights for agency workers from 6 weeks.
No wonder the CBI approves.
