You are however in a position to create your own pension... its all in the charge out rate.. innit?
As a council arcaheologist I am on ?x per year.. as a Contractor I charge myself out and more than ?x per year as I am covering insurance, pension (aye right) tools, office space, etc........ so why you feel that a council unit... which YAT are clearly not... are not entitled to pension rights is beyond me... if you charge ourself out properly that is.
Which I am sure you do... or are you cheap-skating to win contracts? They have the same costs as you (so to speak) yes Charities get tax breaks... BUT... they do have to carry out non profit activities... etc etc... SO choose your path... the end result is much the same.
