TUC conference - agency workers directive
Date: 16 Sep 2009
Forget Liverpool, Union leaders must be living in la la land if they think bring in the Agency Workers Directive now will protect one job” 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, “If this directive goes ahead it will hit jobs and the economy hard”.
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.
