It seems that as the days go on we are seeing more and more cases of workers being forced on to dodgy individual contracts that slash wages and conditions. The frequency and severity of these cases is frightful. But the few stories that are being reported in the capitalist press are just the tip of the iceberg. Thousands more workers will be ‘offered’ these agreements as the months go on.
