Employment Discrimination Lawyers and Labor Law Lawyers

Why are there no laws covering temporary workers rights to benefits?

Such as holiday pay, vacation or raises. Every temp employment agency makes at min 6 dollars per hour for every hour you work for them at another company yet you are never guaranteed a job?
And if you there is more than 30 days elasped in time from one company to another you have to start all over again! Just because they wouldn't send you out to another position?

Benefits cost the company a large sum of money. You have to be (typically) a 30+ hour employee to earn the privilege of benefits, including time off and holiday pay.

Basically, if you aren't putting in the hours, there is no reason for the company to dish out the cash for it. That's why there are so many temp agencies, it has a lower overhead to run. They expect a high level of commitment for even health benefits.

The upside for you is choosing when and where you work.
