Can agencies stoop any lower?

Just been browsing the forum,turns out that not only do most agencies rip you off on your wages,they are now threatening to sue if you report them,fortunatly I have only ever worked for an agency once for 1 day(yes,i was ripped off,payed me £52 for the shift)I really hope we can rally together and shun these parasites and send them back into the sewer where they belong.

i think the problem is they've mushroomed across the industry over the past couple of years and it's not just our trade.my dads a welder and has worked on industrial jobs for the past 30 years and most of his jobs are through an agency nowadays.

Agencies have been about for years. They used to advertise in rags like the Daily Star years ago. They are a necessary evil I am afraid. The good ones are like hen's teeth.
