I completely agree that its vital not to go off half cocked and name units at will, but we must remeber this was checked with david before posting and only edited as the result of a missunderstanding so the naming of units is not the issue.
To return to the origional thread - the units involved are [u]Cambrian Archaeological Projects and Cotswold Archaeology</u>, so choose wisely when applying for jobs!
What are people opinions on the agreement?
Does anyone know where employees stand legally?
I don't know the ends and outs of this situation, but is it possible that the two units are in some sort of framework or joint venture agreement which requires them not to undermine each other or take advange of information which would damage one or the other in a competitive environment? In this situation the companies may require each other not to pursue staff in such a way as to undermine the agreement, but it may not actually prohibit anyone (as individuals) from applying with whoever they want? Run this through the rumour mill and it may sound more sinister than it is...obviously enlighten me should this not reflect the situation. [?]
don't panic!
