      Dunno why you are still so angry though. Post some more facts and lets debate it.
      I posted facts when I said that the FCTs I've come across were offering the same benefits of permies.

      Last I've come across was offering pension, bonus, sick-pay, holidays, life insurance, private healthcare, money voucher to get your home office set up, even cycle to work scheme.

      And the facts turned out to be true, as it is the law.

      There's nothing to debate. You had a chance to get out of it gracefully. You did not take it. No more no less

        Not quite (edit: oh wait, you're talking about redundancy rights, not permanency rights). If the original contract exceeds four years, then it won't happen until first renewal. It can also be avoided if there were "objective grounds" for the fixed-term contract (i.e., that the nature of the requirement was objectively temporary). Universities routinely renew FTCs beyond 2 years, although relying on fixed funding is probably not enough to meet the "objective grounds" (Ball vs. University of Aberdeen).
