Yes, I agree. It is only the experienced diggers that say 'employ me if you need me, I am £100 a day' whereas the relatively new diggers get told - 'if you want a job, then we pay £50 a day.' I was in the latter position 6 years ago, and believe me, the daily rate hasn't gone up that much for new diggers, but I guess it varies from unit to unit.
Are there any unit managers willing to come forward out there and say how much they pay their sub-contractors (if they use them)?
