The Agency Workers Directive comes into force in the UK, shortly. This effectively extends the same rights to 'temporary' workers as those enjoyed by permanent employees.
Why not go the whole hog and ban temporary workers? Then we could move on to banning private businesses and have everyone working for the state!
Europe, including the UK, is in the midst of a recession and what is the response of governments? To impose further costs and regulatory burdens on struggling businesses. If you took such a script to Hollywood they would throw it out as 'too fanciful and too unbelievable'.
If you were the owner of a small business and had the potential to pick-up some extra work but it required you to take on agency/temporary staff, would you now do so?
This smacks to me of yet more fiddling while Rome and of course Athens, burns.
Is there any chance, do you think, that the politicos will ever get around to addressing the real and pressing issues that face all of the economies in the EU? Re-arranging the deck-chairs on the Titanic, comes to mind.
