If I strike does that mean I'm IR35-caught as a result?

According to that link, things are at an early stage and Mike is planning different things. The link does not mention anything about a strike though - is there anything on the other sites or Mike's communications that suggest that a strike is being planned / organised / considered?

From what I've read (and I'm sure I've missed something) the only place that is talking about having a one day strike is this thread.

It's a really stupid idea. Did I mention that already?

If you have to tell your client why, you're inside IR35 anyway

They don't (well not like USA anyway).

Well you knew what I meant; some legal something or other. Judicial Review perhaps.
