On paper - yes - but national law and case-law shows that as soon as that
material is even remotely in the same line of work as gainfully employed
to do; cases err. towards the employer.

This I do not see - a CLA yes (esp. if the employer was not informed about

the Employer about the agreement set out in the CCLA.
