I think certain people are missing the point! If as an industry we are trying to present ourselves as proffesionals then perhaps its time we started to ask for the same benifits other proffesionals have. Its not nessessarily the point as to whether or not is more expensive to live away from home (which it obviously is) but rather the subsistance provides a form of compensation for being away from home. We have lives and families elsewhere but have to travel where theres work which is a huge wrench. I dont think its unreasonable to expect this to be made worth my while, and using the subs to get home to see family on the weekend is also something the building industry doesnt have to put up with - they get that paid too...
I for one am fed up with people taking the piss about wages and telling me so and so whos 18 gets this and how much they get overnight etc. Maybe sometime it would be nice to be something other than a building site joke!!
And as for the argument thats how it is, we've never had it so good and all that junk its just a cop out for excepting the situation and thats never going to change anything.
PS miss you lot to smaze :face-stir:
