SIPTU to name and shame agencies exploiting migrants

SIPTU is to start naming and shaming employment agencies which are exploiting migrant workers in industries across the country.

The union has gone public with the campaign after it emerged yesterday that agency workers at Musgrave distribution plant in Dublin were being paid as little as half the amount their Irish counterparts were earning.

Musgrave said the workers were employed by three recruitment agencies, and the terms and conditions of the staff were agreed directly with their employment agencies and not with them.
