Time to take on employment agencies
Sir - On a recent visit to the JobCentre in Maltby I picked up a list of vacancies. It was aimed at 18-24 year olds.

Yhis is a company turning over obscene amounts of profit every three months and they can't even pay a young person a wage to work for them.
This is amounting to legalised slavery under the guise of work experience.

Employment agents are already stealing off the low paid and the taxman and leaving families in poverty because "they got you the job",.
The biggest barrier to entry in today's labour market are employment agents because the British don't like working for these thieves who feel they can help themselves to your wages, your overtime and treat you like dog dirt to enrich themselves off your toil and sweat.
It's time one of the major parties took them on and represented the working class.
