Previously this year, the bakery cut 30 permanent positions, to hire agency staff with lower pay and fewer hours in return. After the industrial action, Hovis bakery agreed to a restrictive policy on the use of agency labour and gave 24 agency workers a permanent contract. Additionally, any agency worker at the bakery will now receive equal pay after 12 weeks of full time work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fcms.iuf.org\u002F?q=node\u002F2823\">http:\u002F\u002Fcms.iuf.org\u002F?q=node\u002F2823\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
