"We would have no archaeological companies left..."
Oh pleaseeeeee!
Its about time companies copped on and charged true market values. Archaeological companies in the UK are constantly selling themselves short and for what? A disaffected, underpaid and over exploited workforce and stupidly tight margins. Why dont they charge true construction rates for work.
The rake of Poles working on Irish sites have NOT led to a decrease in wages. When monitoring in Ireland I was charged out at 500 Euros a day of which I saw 250 Euros a day (thats around £700 a week in my pay packet). Maybe thats one of the benefits of a licencing system.
