Attached please find a press release on: The Department of Labour is considering abolishing labour broking in its new proposed Acts , but this could have a negative impact on the industry. These expected changes in the Labour Relations Act are largely due to the abuse of the lower-skilled worker. Some labour brokers are exploiting lower-skilled workers that are desperate for income and naive when it comes to their rights. They are either not paying them on time, not paying them enough, or not paying them at all. They can away with doing this at the moment because of a lack of jobs and saturated job markets.
