Petition Action

Make long term agency employment illegal, ending the agency loop holes.

Petition Details

I would like the government to end long term agency employment loop hole, whereby currently instead of an employer offering full contract rights to all staff, employers contract this responsibility out to a recruitment agency, which provides zero job security or benefits to agency workers.

Additional Information

The reason why the UK Government should do this is because the current system offers the agency staff less end of contract termination notice, less sickness and health packages, less bonus and welfare benefits and is therefore against the agency workers human rights to be treated unequally, agency staff is working the same shift alongside full contract staff, who are selected to full employment status at random, and current system is open to prejudice and neglect

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

You mention long term agency employment, but currently agency workers are required to have the same rights as other employees after 12 weeks employment:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
