Bill > HR67

This resolution urges the State of Mississippi to adopt a Temporary Workers' Bill of Rights to address widespread abuse in temporary employment practices. The proposed guidelines aim to protect temporary workers by ensuring they receive a living wage, basic work assignment information, and fair employment practices. Key provisions include prohibiting staffing agencies from charging workers for background checks and drug tests, mandating the same safety training as permanent employees, banning forced arbitration and non-compete agreements, addressing workplace discrimination, and requiring employers to offer full-time, permanent employment after 90 days of temporary work. The resolution specifically seeks to limit temporary work assignments to 90 days, with exceptions for covering extended medical leaves, and requires that after 180 days, workers in such special assignments must be offered full-time positions with benefits. The overall goal is to improve working conditions and job security for temporary workers in Mississippi by establishing comprehensive protections and pathways to permanent employment.
