            I always ask myself, "what would Wilmslow do?"

            It keeps life simple.

              One option which is missing is that the client has contracted for the supply of a service at a given price, for a given period of time.

              For that reason one might accept a reduction at renewal - that one would not during any other time, in addition the cost of living is actually going up, not down so ones costs are going up also.

              The true answer however depends on many variables; competition, personal finances, rarity of the skills used.

              Until you know those the option to fight any requirement is an uncertain move - if one can afford it rather than having to find more work then one might take the hit. On the other hand take it or not, one might want to let everyone know that you are not happy.

                  I don't think they are breaching the contract. They are saying "revise the contract or we will terminate the existing contract after the notice period having been served".

                    But surely the clientco has requested a contract for a paticular resource spread over a particular time period at an agreed price.

                    Sue the f*ckers!

                    Btw, your question was...

                    If the client/agent demanded a rate cut or I'm terminated I'd
                    Nothing about contract revision or negotiation. Purely a demand.
