If the full time, etc. situation was true at the time of hire, stuff happens and most likely not. If the agency knew the situation was going to change as it did, however, and people were lured away to this job to their detriment --- maybe. It would take a lot of investigative work to see if the agency knew or should have known of the fact things would change as they did. Someone needs to review things with all of you who were affected.
