Can I join a UNION if I am an AGENCY worker?

1. If I work in eithert the Public or Private sector - depending on my assignment through the Agency. On a Unspecified assignment length?
2. Even as a Agency "employee" in a specific field e.g:
I.T or Administration. On a Unspecified assignment length?

Where does the U,K Government get its employment figures - how many of those staff in the "employment stands at "blahblah" % are agency workers proping up the economy but have no legal support in any way shape or form.

Why is it legal for me to be docked leave for Christmas - its a statutory public/bank holiday I did not ask for it but to get paid for not being able to work that day I need to tap into my existing leave.
Is there anybody out there in Government or Union or even HAHA the Privaet sector that gives a "Q拢%" about Agency Staff & treats them with respect and failrly - or has my imagination gone off the scale!!

Which Union can I join depending on the sector I find myslef employed in?
Or is there a General/Agency Specific Union? that covers public& private sector irrespective of the work warehouse/admin/ hospitality etc etc. Is there a Government/Private/Public Sector watchdog that agency workers can turn to or is that a dream?

Of course you can, your firm do not have to recognise a Union but there is no one in this country who can prevent you from joining a union. My firm does not have a union yet they still deduct my union subscriptions from my pay to the Union.

Try to pick a union that is associated with the line of work you do. If you are disciplined or get into trouble and have to attend a hearing, your trade union rep can accompany you whether your firm says so or not as it is your right under present law.

Go for it, But be careful, you will be asked to pay part of your wages to the Labour party. Unless you are happy with that make it clear you do not want any money to be paid to Labour.

Good Luck Red
