They keep creating loopholes to get around latest legislation well we want clarity on job duration and proper remuneration for our efforts .
Make it illegal for agency's to use umbrella scam to pay it's employees

Clarity on who we work for as at moment they don't like responsibility so pass us around each other while none claim responsibility

Make it illegal to pay for your wages no one should have to pay to be paid

Abolish agency's at moment they decide who gets a pay rise and for 14 years it's stayed the same rate while everyone else has gone up
