Hi DH, You're right of course, I'm just saying that as long as this situation exists, it's going to be difficult to exert any real pressure on anybody. Some short term discomfort may be the price of a longer term gain? I know that's pretty easy to say from the comfort of a uni Library, but I've been in the field long enough to despair of the idea that things will "improve when we are more appreciated etc etc" This will never happen. As several other contributors have pointed out on this site, as long as we are prepared to work for a pittance, that is what we'll be paid. It's the market at work.
