Adecco temps working for the British Cattle Movement Service have voted for union recognition from the Public and Commercial Services Union.

Two-thirds of the 574 eligible temps voted in the election and opted unanimously for union recognition.

The workers want the same rights and pay as full-time staff.

The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) said the vote is unlikely to result in a massive change in the industry.

External relations manager Anne Fairweather told Recruiter: "Most temps are satisfied in their work so there is no incentive for union recognition."
