    Were 50k contractors (or however many there are of us) to take a break from the stress of it all to consider options at the same time, it would surely afford business and the government a little more time to reflect further on exactly how unnecessary our niche of economic activity really is. Maybe, if wheels were to start falling off the IT bus after a week or so, our voice might suddenly become a tad louder.

    A bit gardening leave in April sunshine for us all......perfect.

      Advising unavailability all at the same time wouldn't be a strike as such
