Why do we insist on swallowing the tripe that comes out of New Labour and the Treasury.
I person who is at the same site for 18months is
a) either so good the client does not want to lose there services and they get repeat business
b) On a long term contract
Either way they never become an employee unless and until a court says otherwise.Comment
