Nice to see the topic back on course - seemed to have temporarily undertaken a life of its own!
And in responce to the problems with landowners/no clear start date back after christmas etc there does seem to be a tremendous amount of foresight in that when the contracts were issued the idea of no return in the new year was supposedly not known - how lucky they put that small phrase in before it happened!
It comes down to an issue i raised previously - the idea of being given the appropriate information about the conditions/lengths/certaintly of a job before accepting.
Just asking for a bit of fair play. The wages in archaeology are set at a level (tho hopefully will improve eventually) where there is no safety net and decisions between jobs and timing are incrediably important.
Units you have a moral obligation to treat people as people or the skills drain youve begun will only worsten!!
