The
state of Washington is considering legislation that would establish a bill of
rights for temporary workers.
Under the bill, a temp agency would be
required to inform workers how much clients are paying for their work. This would
help workers to know whether they are being paid fairly.
The bill contains
right to know provisions to inform workers about any dangerous conditions
and hazardous material at their work site. It also would prohibit staffing companies
from charging their employees for cashing paychecks.
