Am I correct to say that contract situation in Sep 2013 is really bad?

We are not wanted anymore; a generation (or two) on the scrapheap in favour of cheap foreign labour.

SCRUM
A distortion of reality? The team isn't employing each other.

Agency repudation ?
I started a new contract a couple of weeks ago and things are going well with the end client. However the agency keeps threatening not to pay unless I provide volumes of information for 'compliance'.
