Have to say I think unilatteral collective bargaining is wrong. Worst still is having to pay people and then giving them a back dated pay rise. Prices have to be adjusted accordingly well in advance of the pay rise.
It has to be remembered that archaeological companies work on a small percentage profit margin and labour is the principal cost. So a 2.5% pay rise will mean 3 people will be made redundant in a big company and the areas hit will be outreach and similar things which donot produce a return.
