Watch the film: ‘Fairness at Work: Lessons from Corby’

Issue date


The TUC has produced the short film ‘Fairness at Work: Lessons from Corby’ with Usdaw, Corby employer RS Components and leader of Corby Borough Council Tom Beattie. The film profiles the Agencies Code of Conduct, a set of standards to guarantee decent treatment for agency workers created by Corby Borough Council, the former Corby MP Andy Sawford with local unions and businesses.  RS Components has signed this code of conduct.  The film shows that migrant and local workers at the company have both secured good conditions as well as opportunities for learning through Usdaw’s negotiations with RS Components.  These include a learning agreement which provides English language training which help migrant workers to integrate into the workforce and skills for local workers which helps them progress in the company.

The TUC will be working with unions and employers to promote this film. We hope this encourages more businesses to sign up to the Agencies Code of Conduct and more workers to join a union to tackle exploitative agency contracts and get fair conditions at work for all.

This film was produced as part of the TUC’s Migration Messaging project which ran in Corby – as well as Southampton and Manchester – for the last year to promote progressive messages on migration.
