In a way they were right, they support the upper echelons of the private sector and in doing so, are happy to bum-rape the people who actually work in any sort of 'industry' because there are literally millions of people in third world countries who can replace them, cheaper.

Originally posted by ladymuck View PostIf more companies follow the model being discussed in Mattfx's post then it ultimately will affect a lot of households. It's the perfect way to get around a lot of pesky nonsense like Uber, Deliveroo, Hermes couriers etc. Put everyone you can't offshore through an umbrella - pick up and drop as you wish, no rights, no benefits. It'll take a good few years but it's not entirely improbable.
He was paid via an umbrella.
It's quite surprising that Uber etc. haven't cottoned on to that idea.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Doesn't he know they need the middle earners for the second 60% of tax that the low earners need as subsidies.
Tier 2 visa cap will be removed to make it easier for highly-skilled workers to come to the UK post Brexit.
Contractors will be replaced by tier 2 visa holders on £41.5k salaryComment

Originally posted by mattfx View PostHi CUK. For the first time in a while I posted a new article on LI about IR35 and why from a hiring perspective, actually, hiring workers under a brolly looks more attractive than using a permie right now. You all know why it's bad news, but if you'd give the article a read and maybe toss a couple of likes at it to give it some exposure, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance, here's the link:
IR35: Unintended Consequences; the Death of the Permanent Employee
If the gig economy goes mainstream without any rights to pension, holidays and the rest then that is a massive betrayal of the social contract and there will be a backlash.
I say all that as someone who is more likely to vote Conservative than not.Comment
