Dear President Obama. thank you for fighting for the middle class and workers rights.
Reference to your speech today 12/10/12, regarding the "right to work" not necessarily implying low wages, I am crying out against staffing agencies which rip off poor and desperate workers seeking to come back to the workforce. I write from my personal experience, in that I work for a staffing agency that has a contract with the Federal government. I am disgusted to learn that the agency makes a mark-up (profit) of 41% off what it is paid by the federal agency. In turn, from my sweat, I am paid only 51%! This happens to many poor, recently unemployed folks and it is exploitative and equal to modern day slavery. It needs to stop. Contractors of Federal agencies must be held to a higher standard.
