TUC conference - agency workers directive

.

Forget Liverpool, Union leaders must be living in la la land if they think bring in the Agency Workers Directive now will protect one jobî warned Adrian Marlowe Chair of ARC (the Association of Recruitment Consultancies) whose members have annual turnover of over 1bn, today 16th September.

Commenting on the agency workers directive motion passed at the TUC Adrian Marlowe went on to say, ìIf this directive goes ahead it will hit jobs and the economy hardî.

The Government should think twice of the true cost of implementing the directive at cost in excess of 2 billion, money the Country can ill afford. At a time when employers need flexibility and encouragement to take on new workers gold plating the directive will simply lead to greater unemployment.
