To cap construction agencies' fees to 1/8 of the rate of said employee.
Having worked in the construction industry for the last 12 years I've watched wages plummet mainly due to greedy recruitment agency's taking more and more of a cut of the workers wages, praying on people who have no choice but to work for low rates, it needs regulation.
The adverage rate of pay for a plant operator is between £17-£20 per hour, some agency's are putting a rate out at £11 ph, so cases £9.50. this mean they're earning in some cases £90 per day, £450 a week of one driver alone ! Why should they earn so much whilst the driver struggles to make ends meet. It's a absolute farce and needs some sort of regulation where the agency earn something like 1/8 of what the worker is earning.
