    What about this for a bit of retribution?

    1) Work there for a month.
    2) Document the working conditions meticulously.
    3) Make clear and reasoned complaints about the health risks.
    4) If you are then fired for making such complaints then GOTO 6:
    5) If you are not fired, but your concerns are dismissed, then wait another month and then notify them of all health complaints you have suffered as a result of their negligence. GOTO 6:

    6) Get a no win no fee lawyer and sue their a55!

    I'm not sure that agency workers have a leg to stand on when it comes to sueing companies.

    Yeah, I'm not sure either. Who would they sue? Does the agency act as a sort of lawsuit-firewall between them and the real employer? Or is our employment law slightly less crap than that?

    Just thinking out loud really... more than happy for someone more in the know to set me straight.

    It would certainly be interesting to find out what their rights are.

    I'm now wondering whether to report the practices of this branch to the TUC

    As a migrant, I guess they have the option of returning to their own country, as many seem to be doing.
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    Well, this he has considered but it does not solve the problem for anyone else.
