- Motion text
This meeting deplores the exploitation of agency workers in the FE sector, including low pay and denial of access to an occupational pension, and calls on the FEC to work vigorously for:
1. the full implementation of the European Agency Workers' Directive into UK law in a way that fully covers agency workers in FE/adult and community education
2. agreements in our sector that agency workers receive the same terms and conditions as directly employed staff, including pay, from day one, which would bring agency workers' terms and conditions under national and local bargaining agreements
3. the enforcement of any new legal requirements for agency workers to receive equal pay to colleagues
4. the recognition of UCU branches as representing agency workers in the institutions where they represent staff
5. access for agency workers to the Teachers' Pension Scheme.
