Yes I know... arranging one interview has never been so lucrative.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -
Final Straw
Update:
Received another email today similar to gingerjedi, but because I did not reply to there VM which was left yesterday, they assumed I had accepted their new T&C's and also because I was still working on-site, and that NO OTHER CONTRACTOR's had complained!!! What a bunch of liars..
If the clause is un-enforceable why insist on it being included?
I replied to their email, stating I did not accept the T&C's if they didn't want me to work for the client I would leave I also mentioned I would inform the client out of courtesy which I have done, he wants me to stay and has contacted them stating this. So will have to wait to see if I have work tomorrow or not..Comment

I'm getting sick of this...
They are insisting that that their clause complies with UK law and they have had it checked with their solicitors, no mater how many times I tell them that I don't agree they come back with 'I hope this clears things up and you now accept our new T's & C's'.
I didn't renew my PCG membership whilst I was on the bench as I wasn't sure if I'd need it again... typical.
BTW They are also saying that all their other contractors have accepted this and I am the only one who is kicking up a fuss?? This thread is proof that this is not the case.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much.

That's typical attempted strong arm tactics and the "you're the only one kicking up a fuss" type of line should be treated with the contempt it deserves.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostI'm getting sick of this...

If you're not happy with a contract clause refuse to sign until it's removed, if the agency tries to tell you that you will be endangering the current contract or an extension point out that you won't sign up to unfair T's&C's that wouldn't stand up in court. If they persist then a quiet word with the Client (avoid whining or complaining) pointing out that you're having some issues with the Agent trying to impose an unacceptable clause might be in order.Comment

I have thought of that but how many layers of managers do you think I'd have to get through before I found anyone who gave a dam when dealing with a company like HP? I've got no chance.Originally posted by TykeMerc View Post
They're not asking me to sign anything as I’ve already signed a contract under their old T’s & C’s, they're telling me that these are the new T's & C's and that’s that.Science isn't about why, it's about why not.
