Simon Jones was killed on 24th of April, on his first day as a casual worker. He was sent by Brighton employment agency Personnel Selection to work at a South Coast dock owned by Euromin to do a highly dangerous and skilled job for which he had no training or experience. Within two hours of starting work Simon was dead, his head crushed by a crane grab, another victim of our growing casual labour economy.
