I would heartily agree that LG 'Units' should become contractors in their own right... this would remove (at least partly) the problem of (in some cases) the perception that contractor and County archaeologist are too close... (or in a few cases.. are the same person.
We should start somewhere though... and If an audit of Contractors - LG Contractors - Uni Contractors showed that the pay/conditions could move without the LGs and Unis then whats stoppping us.... And it must be said in all fairness... thats exactly what the IFA have done.
I would also be interested in any development with Prospects actions with SCAUM... words showing activity or 'just words'?
Another day another WSI?
