Office Angels: Not So Angelic?

Solidarity Federation have been contacted by an ex-employee of Office Angels agency about his poor treatment at their hands.

The ex-employee’s claim is that he worked for Office Angels for three days in December of last year. He was assured by the company that the lack of a time-sheet would ‘not be a problem’.

However, Office Angels are refusing to pay him the wages he is owed – falsely claiming he only worked for one day, despite them having called him at work on his third day.

We call on Office Angels to honour the work done by this employee and to pay him what is owed.
(Whilst this worker is not named here, his identity is known to Office Angels)

Temporary workers face similar unacceptable conditions every day. They work without sick pay or maternity leave, are vulnerable to unfair and instant dismissals and have no union support. Rising unemployment and a bleak economic climate will force even more of us to accept these precarious conditions – yet another example of working class people being exploited by an economic system that only benefits the rich.

The best way to improve our conditions at work and in our communities is by standing together and resisting. We want to hear from any current or previous Office Angels employees that have come into conflict with this company and its culture of disrespect. We know that this is not an isolated incident and the more people get involved, the more pressure we can put on the company to start treating its workers properly.
