Asda has reached agreement with the Unite trade union to pay agency workers in the food industry the same as permanent employees.
According to a report in The Times, Unite says 6,000 workers would get improved pay under the agreement, which covers 29 suppliers. Agency workers are paid between 30p and £1 an hour less than permanent workers doing the same job, says Unite. Asda’s announcement comes ahead of the implementation of the Agency Workers Directive (AWD), due on 1 October 2011.
