Employment agencies campaign

The Simon Jones Memorial Campaign is calling a national day of action against employment agencies on Wednesday 24th April 2002, the fourth anniversary of Simon's death.

Simon Jones was killed in 1998 on his first day of work at Shoreham Docks. He was sent there without training or experience by Brighton-based employment agency Personnel Selection.

Carly North of the Simon Jones Memorial Campaign says, "Employment agencies make huge profits by providing cheap labour for companies who prefer casual labour rather than a well trained, decently paid workforce. The campaign wants to highlight this with a national day of action against employment agencies that put profit before people."
