Recently posted on the BAJR Facebook page but not (yet) on here but surely worthy of discussion:
'It is becoming apparent that some organisations are only advertising the jobs that they can get away with on BAJR - however there is a terms and conditions clause that clearly states that all positions must meet the criteria So to advertise on BAJR you can't hide on your own website the posts that don't fit/ I have just seen two "hidden in plain sight" adverts where diggers are on sub 17k rates and supervisors on sub 18k I won't name or link. ( and that goes for you all) I am frankly shocked. I can only ask you... don't work for less. There are lots of jobs out there and more coming. For everyone who works for less ( a job is a job argument) you are pushing down rates. you are stepping back into the past. Work for less and you will be forever poorly paid. IF nobody takes the sub minima jobs... then the rates HAVE to go up.'
It doesn't take much of a search to work out who one of the likely culprits is (and it's not the first time they have been accused of offering poor pay)
Why can't they be named? Stating the facts is not libellous: company X has advertised job Y on BAJR at pay rate Z and on their own at a a different rate and is offering other jobs well below BAJR minima.
Maybe BAJR was going to bring this subject up on the forum anyway.
