Initially you deal with Rishworth (Sweden). Rishworth have created a subsidiary in the UK called "Global Crew UK" which will offer you a 3 year contract and be your employer. After three years you are "moved" to another company called OSM UK
Has anyone visited the UK subsidiary and company offices of the respective business to attend an interview or for work related matters?

3. Are the contracts local, in compliance with local labor laws and policies?
I can only speak for the 787. Yes, Global Crew UK is a "normal" UK employer in front of the law. You are employed and social security/taxes are applied
“Norwegian family” members are required to sign a clause in their 3-year fixed term, staffing agency contract, that they have “no employment relationship with the client airline” renting their services. The clause indemnifies the airline from any obligations, responsibilities and liabilities as an employer in any dispute(s).
