I am expecting to be in a minority and also to be very unpopular simply by raising these issues.
(I would note that I am committed to seeing pay rates increase in archaeology. I pay over the BAJR rates as DC puts it
â
âbelieve me.... you'll love em... anyhow Dr Pete... you are already a gold star payer !â
There is something intrinsically wrong with a situation where an organisationâs membership can vote themselves a 25% pay increase and employers are merely consulted. This is collective bargaining without the bargaining.
The IFA at the 2004 AGM said
â if a pay bargaining structure was necessary, why not get Prospect (for employees) and SCAUM (Standing Conference of Unit Managers) for the managers, with IFA as steward, to set up an effective mechanism that could work for all commercial archaeological organisations?â see
