Manpower casuals getting better pay

Post by dgarchay »

Anyone else spoken to manpower casuals about their pay, spoke to a few today and all were on £6.08 or more. How come angard are paying less, being 19 im on £4.98 so earning 20% less an hour. Angard are really taking the p***, no communication at all and paying less than other agencys.

I understand that the minimum wage is £4.98 for my age but manpower workers of the same age are getting the £6.08 rate.

Yep morally wrong - but in corporate Britain not legally wrong.
