The workers can't legitimately confirm they'll attend on the same
days,
to two different agencies.

But if the second job is offering more money, and the workers are in
short
enough supply that they can't not be used, can anyone do much about it?

The agency can't force them to work, but the agency ought to know how
many
are actually going to turn up.


Can I have some of this magic potion you're holding?


If the agency has no clue about the potential attendance record of their
confirmed "yes I'll do it" contractors, then only anarchy will result.


And it did.
