ATSCo concern over Agency Workers Directive – the sacrificial lamb? (2004, May 10) – Ann Swain
There is concern in the recruitment industry that the Government may try to placate the Unions in the current fire dispute by diluting its opposition to the EU Agency Workers Directive says Ann Swain, Chief Executive of the Association of Technology Staffing Companies (ATSCo).
The European Council of Ministers will debate the European Parliament's controversial decision on the Agency Workers Directive (December 3) as part of the dual decision making process.
Comments Ann Swain: "The DTI has been very supportive of the recruitment industry's point of view so far. Our concern is that because of the current level of industrial unrest in the UK the Government may try to mollify the Unions by accepting the Directive as it stands."
