Sorry if it appeared i was questioning trainee grades as posted on bajr - these are not nessessarily advertised but when those with less exp apply they are offered less money!
Very hard for bajr to regulate but a whistle blower system should help police this.
And dont have a problem with the term trainee - its fine - its what people with no experience are. It is important that this isnt a way to lower the starting wage. Maybe it should be explicitly clear that the lowest wage for a digger starting out with no exp is a site assistant grade 1. Or a trainee but with the wages brought inlione with ifa rates?
