This is frankly a problem all over (the IR35 / IT issues are true, but hell, salaries all over are ... less than one would choose if the power balance between capital and labour was more equitable)
I honestly don't know how to solve it absent massive Government action, and while I generally applaud it, its unlikely to be effective / sustainable.
Maybe a big trades union resurgence. Possibly a truly massive increase in the number of small (not individual) service firms.
- Nursie 6y agoSalaried work in the UK in general pays a pitiful amount, I agree. It has always seemed absurd to me that the returns on productive assets are taxed lower than the returns of the sweat of your brow.
- varispeed 6y agoChanges to IR35 add this construct of "Employment for tax purposes" which means you only pay tax like an employee (and employer), but don't have any employment rights - that includes no right to unionise.
