Calling all IPSE Members

[GreenMirror]

The IPSE AGM has just been announced.

The CC are not supportive of the Special Resolution to amend the Articles of Association without any consultation and there have been resignations because of the changes.

More will follow asap but please do reach out to your CC members here (or you can find us on the IPSE forum) if you have questions.

We would like members to support the CC in their rejection of the new Articles of Association.

Does this affect the CUK articles of association?

Clearly not, but if you are a Member of IPSE, I would suggest that you grant one of the CC Members your Proxy to try and prevent their Articles of Association being changed, as well as to prevent the dissolution of the Consultative Council?

I would temper that by saying

"...if you are a Member of IPSE, I would suggest logging onto the IPSE forums and learning why we feel you should reject the changes"

A group wants to remove Caroline Morgan as director but the group has aroused my suspicion already by not explaining in their lengthy email why that should be the case

IPSE member here. Could someone give me a TLDR of what's going on?

The IPSE board wishes to change the way it is appointed, as having lost the battle against IR35 (sorry to be blunt) it's trying to maintain its existence...

In separate news Contractor Calculator are looking for people to visit their MP and explain to them why IR35 is a bad idea prior to the Finance Act being voted on... For details see Dave Chaplin on LinkedIn: "IR35 CAMPAIGN: Another percent up we go. 63%.

Two weeks ago we were at 52% and 545 activists. Since then more than 200 people have decided to carve some time out of their busy lives to try and defend their contracting careers.

We at ContractorCalculator have prepared everything you need to go and visit your MP. We have over 50 pages of documents, fact packs, which are hitting home and being well received by MPs. We just need more boots on the ground.

Were you one of the 200? If not, why not? Are you puckering up to kiss goodbye to up to 30% of your income? You have a few weeks to get yourself organised.

Book a meeting with your MP to go and see them after Xmas. Email me YOUR MP NAME on [email protected] to get a fact pack. Print it out, visit your MP, make the key points.

Then pat yourself on the back and include yourself in the team of those that are trying to make a difference."
