Quite right, but how many contracts are being drawn up by either party? Do those working as 'self-employed' realise how much control they have, or rather should have, over their employment situation? If I didn't need to work it would be good fun to take up one of these 'self-employed' job ads and then cause as much trouble as possible before leaving with no notice, as would be my right!
