Get in contact with your union rep, find out how many dutys are going to be lost, any surplus etc. if theres any vacancys you'll stay at your office, if theres none then you'll move to a different office. either way you'll get a permanent contract

I'm due for my third contract to be renewed next month. I'm wondering (and hoping) that now I've got my own floaters job they'll offer me a permanent contract.

I thought they had done away with temp contracts now? You can only be on 30 hours part time in my office no lower and permanent now they are in phase 6 of the revision.
