I joined one years ago when a certain union announced that it was going to do all manner of things for Archaeologists. I left soon after as they actually just saw archaeology as an untapped source of income. It has become apparent over the years that the truth is....Archaeologists have to do things for themselves. I re-joined the very same union (ten years later!) because I saw it working on the ground and, because it was Archaeologists making it work. No complaints. Join or whinge.....simples :face-approve:
