CASUAL WORKERS' RIGHTS

Early day motion 2133, tabled 5 September 2011 by Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (Labour). Signed by 40 members.

That this House is troubled at the lack of protection for casual workers in the United Kingdom; notes with disappointment that at present casual workers can have their shifts cut short with no prior notice; acknowledges that temporary agency workers can often be amongst the most vulnerable in the United Kingdom; and calls on the Government to introduce stronger minimum rights for casual workers, including a minimum notice period before a shift can be cut short, to ensure that they are treated fairly and with respect in the workplace.
