hi everyone,
im new to this place and i just wondered if anyone could possibly help me with some advice and point me to the correct legal info i need.
i work for a london borough council in the street cleansing and refuse dept which has been taken over by contractors, now the contractor has stopped all full time contracted staff doing any overtime because the agency workers are cheaper than us so the agencys are getting all the overtime and there is a lot of overtime available, even if they dont have enough agency workers to do the extra work they still will not give us staff the overtime, they just draft in more agencys workers
my question is, is there anywhere i can get it in writen law that says that they cannot do this to us ? they will not put this in writing to us so that says to us this obviously illegal to discriminate against us because of our rate of pay,
all us contracted staff are not against the agency workers getting overtime but we would like the overtime equaly distributed and to be made fair all round,
we also understand there is new laws giving the agency workers the same rights as full time staff, but at the moment it feels like we do not have the same rights as they agency's
does this come under the discrimination laws ? or the fairness at work acts ? all i need is some form of paperwork to take to our union men in the depot to hit the management with, unfortunatly our union guys are not the best in the world at finding all this sort of stuff out and they are not very good on computers to look all this stuff up as i do, but if they are given the correct info they will go in and battle the management for us, god bless them.
any advice or where to find the correct paperwork and or legal rules would be a great help
thanks for reading this
