Are agency workers being exploited? That's the allegation being levelled at some employment agencies in Corby.

Some agency workers in Corby have spoken to 91热爆 Radio Northampton making a number of allegations:

- one said he'd been asked to turn up early in the morning. He'd wait for hours and then no work would materialise.
- another said she was dismissed after becoming pregnant.
- and one agency worker told us he was still waiting to be paid for work he had done seven weeks ago.

Corby's Labour MP Andy Sawford organised an Employment Agency Summit in the town.

Corby reporter Martin Borley speaks to people in the town about their experiences, while Stuart talks to Andy Sawford, to agency worker Eamonn McGinley from Corby, and to Liza Laurence who runs Laurence Recruitment in Corby.
