exploitation by manpower

my daughter is employed by manpower to work for royal mail. she was told she would be paid 6.50 an hour. {working night shift 22.00 -06.00] After 1st week pay reduced to 5.50 an hour. the reason for this being 18 years old, so are paying her 4,95 minimum wage plus 55 pence for working nights. But they are still charging royal mail full agency fee of over 11 pounds an hour, the same as if she was over 21. Shame on you manpower, how many more young people and companies are you ripping off.

This is standard practise for agencies.
It used to be that you could 'negotiate' a better price with the agency, for being skilled or reliable or just a good negotiator, but in this economic climate I'm sure they'd be able to replace your daughter easily so I'd just stick with it and be thankful that she has a job and is getting above NMW.0
