...and what then happens once these people have reached a level that makes them 'skilled'? Are they then promoted and receive increase in wages or do they stay at the same salary level - and thus give the management of the units even cheaper skilled labour. Or are they turfed out at the end of a fixed contract and a new intake is recruited. This is, to me, a method to drive down staff costs. salary levels etc even further. Not surprised that MoLA are taking this step if they are venturing into the private sector later this year.
