As far as I can see David the proposed scenario is perfectly legal and therefore despite your reservations, maybe BAJR should step back from getting too involved (I am thinking also here of the BAJR bank balance vis a vis prospective advertisers).
Maybe what the BAJR Fed could do when up and running is to encourage any disgruntled staff to take up the issue through the appropriate trade union. I think union and employer negotiation is the only way to arrive at a compromise on this issue.
And be assured we have been here before....infact as recently as last year I remember. I personally don't think that this situation is entirely a direct result of the recession, but is the realisation of what was always likely to happen after the Customs and Revenue ruling on accomodation etc last year.
If archaeology has just become a tougher industry in which to work, at least it is finally a legally correct one. I agree with Peter on that point

With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
