I suspect they have, they must be able to double their subscription base with the self employed which will no doubt include all of the building trade

TBH the more space I can put between my company and the self employed, the better I like it.

What is the purpose?

It gives them something that they can talk about at the AGM and say "we accomplished something". Which would make a change from saying "we spoke to someone and they ignored us".

Or "we annoyed someone, now they won't talk to us"

Or "We've negotiated this opt out, but no one knows how it works".

I think they've moved on from being a contractor's union fighting IR35 to being a lobby group for the self employed and small business owners since that sector has grown over the last few years.

Or "We've negotiated this opt out, but no one knows how it works, but we know we've made things better for you rather than having negotiated a load of bollocks which allows agents to lie even more to you all".

Fair enough. They saved me a fortune so I'm happy to pay the fees, especially since it also pays for all the other benefits.
