IndustriALL is a worldwide labour union movement with which Christian Labour Advocate strongly disagrees as a matter of principle. Nevertheless, on the specific issue of agency labour, IndustriALL is largely on the correct path. It's only justification may be in certain cases where a worker refuses to submit to monopoly unionism (as against pluralism of workers representation), monopoly unionism such as IndustriALL seems to advocate, even tho it is rarely the winner in winner-takes-all-union elections when its up against Big Brother unionism. Against the Big Brothers of today's unionism, IndustriALL seems like simply the upstart (nothing wrong with that), and against today's International Trade Union Confederation, World Federation of Trade Unions ("made up primarily of unions affiliated with or sympathetic to Communist parties"), World Organization of Workers (which includes the Christian national union organizations of Protestant inspiration). This latter is the international labour-union body with which Christian Labour Advocate most identifies. I know that IndustriALL is at odds, strongly so, with the Communist-Party union affiliate in France, and that IndustriALL is strongly represented and highly active in the states of the former Soviet Union, not least of all Russia. So, I'm guessing that IndustriALL has siphoned off many members from the old Communist-affiliated unions in Russia and around the world. More research to do!
But aside from affiliations and elaboorate ideologies, IndustriAll wisely discourages labour agencies like Manpower because they, while they offer temporary relief from the monopoly unionism to which IndustriALL aspires, the agencies offer only precarious employment and low pay, no benefits for the workers cawt in "the Triangular Trap."

Agency work is a trap
