Labour Brokers is not good for workers

The Labour Brokers

It is sad that even today we still talk labour brokers in South Africa and I support the Unions like NUMSA, Solidarity, etc. in the demand of total ban of this system of employment.  The people are being abused, robbed and they legal rights as employees are being ignored. 

Employer avoid their responsibility by employing labour brokers, yes some people are saying at least people are getting jobs because of labour brokerage but that is not true because labour brokers dong create employment but fill existing posts. There is a clear distinction between labour brokerage and employment agency, employment agency is just a recruitment and after linking a job seeker with the employer and receiving their commission they are through and the job seeker if employed is employed by the employer and not the agency whereas the Labour brokerage means the labour broker get a deal with the employers, labour broker is the employer and in most cases the rights of workers are ignored and they are oppressed.  Some people are saying there should be measures to regulate this labour brokerage instead of banning it, still the question is why should one be employed by a secondary employer to work for primary employer, why the middle men?
