I am unsure where this is going... the topic is about Contracts - to steer it into territory about specific groups.. copyrights and burning records.. hedgerows and the IFA.. is not addressing the issue.
This is not about pipelines per se .. this is about what is
a) legal
b) moral
c) acceptable.
some stuff might seem rough... and yes it is... it is very rough... I would hope that the contracotr is not all that chuffed either.. (after all.... they are not getting paid for this time either) there are basic rights though... and also reasonable expectations where this should be costed in ... if a group are not paid for anything during this time and then taken back on again and expected to be grateful... pah... this is morally wrong... they should at least get the legal minimum.. and as the contract continues... they should get the same as full time staff (ie... the same holiday rights - even if this means they only get 3 days holiday... and they get no other pay.. as they have not accrued enough holiday time... 1.666 days per calender month)
Anyway I digress...
this is not about not getting a look in on pipeline contracts... it is about what is 'right' and how to deal with it.
You may think you are looking at the underlying cause.. fair point... but lets stay firmly on topic and in the AUP.
