Before you get too pious about this and wade in, what exactly have this unit done wrong legally? They have offered a fixed term contract with a clear end date. They have indicated that they will let people know whether there will be further work when they know what the situation is - from direct personal experiuence, being able to predict the archaeological market three months in advance is more than crystal ball gazing - and as far as the postings indicate, they have not said they will not re-employ people and not be offering holiday pay. So what is the issue you hope to deal with at this stage?
