mmm. Like Kevin I can see both sides of this. I don't suppose it's against the AUP to mention LAS, since they aren't a company any more, having gone belly up last year. Just supposing they hadn't, they might have tendered for this job an been able to offer a day rate of fifty quid (or whatever) less than Borsetshire Archaeology or any other long distance unit. As other posters have pointed out, if units rely too much on local labour, they might have trouble finding people who can afford to work on those projects, even in the 'labour-rich environment' :-(
What I think we might see, which should be robustly resisted, is a widening of the area PMs will consider commutable when tendering for jobs, so people start travelling 2 hours or more each way to work.
