Dear Premier McGuintyI am writing this letter to call for an immediate public inquiry into the actions and functions of the temporary labour services. I reside in the city of Brantford, in the riding of Brant, which has suffered a series of plant closures and there is one more announced plant closure occurring in the following month. It has come to my attention that many of the jobs available in our riding are under control of the temporary labour services. These temporary labour services are experiencing rapid growth, while our good paying jobs disappear. It would appear that the temporary labour market and the expansion of these temporary services are creating a barrier between the employees and the employer. Many of the people whom work for a temporary service can spend months and years at the same job at the same place of work within the jurisdiction of the company. I believe that is wrong. There is a place for temporary agencies, but as the number of temporary agencies grow, it is my understanding that they are taking fulltime good paying employment and reducing the wages and the job to part time, non permanent status.
We need action today, before the system of temporary labour market becomes a way of life for the people in Brantford who are looking for full time work, but will have no other recourse then to submit to using temporary employment agencies.
