After the Digger Forum at the conference I for one am very very hopeful...
Without saying too much at this momment... The IFA and the DIggers group asked about BAJR raising pay across the board next year... I saif I could but it would require backing from the IFA.... they agree.. but they would want me to help get people into the IFA... I agree and ask Prospect to negotiate both a pay rise to sensible levels, and additional benefits like movable pensions that move with the archaeologist from job to job, the IFA are also making available, NVQs and vocational CPD driven training... so asit goes it was thanks to the DIgger Forum that everyone agreed not just what should happen, but what will happen by APril 2007
Higher Wages
Set Structure to Career Grades
Pension rights (compulsory for all)
Holiday Rights (compulsory for all)
Sickness benefits (compulsory for all)
over and above the pro rata salary.
NVQs in practical skills which are tied to the skills required to do the job.
potential movable pension
Not bad for 3 hours work!
I decided to suck it and see... what I saw were people trying to kmake a difference, and as such will continue to support until such times as I feel that they are not.... which I feel is not the case. I really believe that BAJR IFA PROSPECT see that together we can actually do it, each using their strengths to move the mountains.
I is born again.... but I still keep my powder dry and one eye open!
Another day another WSI?
