In an organisation like RTÉ, it might suit both the employee and the employer to have a contract for service. However, it has been suggested, even on one of RTÉ's programmes, that it is much wider than that and that many of RTÉ's employees are being coerced into accepting contracts for service. It was described by one of the Ms Forbes's colleagues as rife within RTÉ. This is the notion of bogus self-employment. Essentially, some employees are not being given a choice. They are being told by management that it is a contract for service and they do not have any choice. Does Ms Forbes accept that there is a problem in RTÉ with bogus self-employment? Is the latter rife within the organisation?
