“MICKEY MOUSE” umbrella companies that leave workers hundreds of pounds out of pocket should be consigned to the dustbin of history, a pink brolly-wielding builder said yesterday.

TUC young workers conference unanimously backed construction union Ucatt’s campaign against the dodgy schemes that force workers to pay employer national insurance contributions and pinch up to £30 a week in admin fees.

Bricklayer Lewis Phillipson slammed bosses for using umbrella companies to put workers on poverty pay and “exclusivity clauses” banning them from working on other jobs.

“This disgusting practice has to stop,” he said, moving the motion. “Umbrella companies are denying innocent construction workers the right to decent pay and conditions.”
