The TUC has published the first in a series of newsletters to help vulnerable workers, and the union members who protect them in the workplace, find out more about their basic employment rights at work. Vulnerable workers include temporary, low-paid and part-time workers. They can suffer because they do not know their rights at work, and it can be difficult to move from insecure work into better paid permanent jobs. Enforcing Minimum Workplace Rights and Bargaining for More is published by the TUC and contains information for vulnerable workers and union reps about how to secure the national minimum wage (NMW), and an update on new equal treatment rights for agency workers which will apply from October 2011.
