Sorry Gizmo, but this is exactly the kind of argument we should have no truck with if we want wages and conditions to get better. What else do they skimp on to remain "competetive"? Site huts and toilets? Health and safety equipment? The quality of their archaeological recording?
I would advise these staff to leave en-masse at the earliest opportunity.
