Saw this originally on the front page of todays Observer Business and Meeja section.

Now I hear that things at "The Sprint" are quite "formal" and "businesslike" etc but this takes the biscuit. How dare he want xmas eve off? How dare he?

The HMRC web-site http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/calcs/esi.htm couriers pass the 'self-employed' test.

Others disagree.

The GMB are doing a good job on this one, but I have read numerous quotes from Terry Flanagan banging on about how foreigners are putting british workers out of a job. If I was trying to build a grass-roots organisation in an industry which relies on 'foreign' workers, then I wouldn't start by challenging their right to a job.]]> http://www.movingtargetzine.com/forum/discussion/578/?Focus=4530#Comment_4530 http://www.movingtargetzine.com/forum/discussion/578/?Focus=4530#Comment_4530 Sun, 23 Dec 2007 16:40:40 +0000 Buffalo Bill http://www.movingtargetzine.com/article/could-it-happen-here-would-it-be-a-good-thing]]> http://www.movingtargetzine.com/forum/discussion/578/?Focus=4531#Comment_4531 http://www.movingtargetzine.com/forum/discussion/578/?Focus=4531#Comment_4531 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 08:51:41 +0000 sleepy
yes, but after 18 months any "self-employed contractor" is entitled to full employment and all the rights that entails. paul whieldon had been at shit n skint for 5 years. i would love to see this go the whole way.
