Well, 'any' would be a starting point. The nearest thing to an employer's organisation in archaeology is SCAUM, and this policy is their first word on the matter.
The IFA is not an employer's organisation, but a professional institution that represents its individual members. It does [u]not</u> represent the RAOs, although it does impose rules on them.

You misunderstand my point (and I do know the different roles of the bodies). I was not suggesting IFA was an employer's organisation, but the RAO scheme does at present give a 'validation' system to those employers who wish to join. SCAUM does not perform this role at present but this seems potentially to beginning to move towards a somewhat different role as an employer's organisation which it perhaps should think very carefully about before embarking on it.
