My wife and I our NHS agency workers and the founders of Save NHS Workers campaign that is protesting about the intended forced resigning of NHS agency workers if they are not employed and being paid by an FCSA accredited umbrella company, which is the consequence of Health Trust Europe (HTE) changing the frameworks rules. By being forced to resign and sign up with a new umbrella all those effected will lose employment right and protection. As an example, my wife and I will lose the maternity and paternity rights and benefits when our first child is born that we have have earned whilst being with the same umbrella for several years.
Agency workers are not just a name, number and commodity to be passed around by HTE, agencies and frameworks as we are employees of the umbrella and have the same rights as normal employees...one of which is not to have those rights taken from us at the whim of HTE.
The integrity of the HTE intentions and the forcing of FCSA umbrellas upon agency workers has to be called into question and investigated following the publishing our latest online article Public Articles
Regardless of the different views we all may have about the UK contracting sector, I believe that this is a genuine worry and real concern for all contractors either now or very soon so I urge you to come out in support of our campaign in anyway that you can so that HTE cannot just do what they want and disregard contractor rights.
