You might have fun saying that the problem
here is that «things didn't go my way», but my way is
equality under the
law for everyone regardless of race, creed, disability, etc..
Here, contract compliance (once a particular bugbear of Mrs Thatcher's government) is not normally considered (if at all) in the context of wage protection, but instead in the context of the advancement of other social goals, in particular
under equality / discrimination
law, eg only giving contracts to firms who show that they are equal opportunities employers.
