A report by a Rutgers prof. argues staffing is a multibillion-dollar industry, “demonstrating that temp workers’ poverty wages and reliance on public health insurance is the result of an unwillingness of the staffing agencies and their corporate clients.'

The report was released just days before the state Senate was once again scheduled to take up the “Temp Workers Bill of Rights,” which would bar the practice of making unitemized paycheck deductions for costs such as meals or, effectively taking the pay of many workers below the minimum wage. The measure additionally requires temp agencies to pay workers the same as permanent employees at a work site and provide equivalent benefits to those given to regular workers doing the same sorts of jobs.
Its primary sponsor, state Sen. Joe Cryan , said this week he’s confident he has the 21 votes needed for passage — but not all supportive senators have been in attendance during the last few voting sessions.“If this legislation was passed, it would move these jobs closer to being livable, living-wage jobs, with benefits,” Martino said in an interview. “To that extent, it would not be New Jersey taxpayers anymore, paying the load for temp workers on health care.
We [shouldn't] be looking at the workers who do that work as somehow lesser than the workers who are direct hires who do the exact same work. Many temporary workers are assigned to jobs for years, effectively making them full-time employees without the normal pay and benefits, Martino said. But he argued even those on shorter assignments deserve greater protections and compensation.
