Marcus Brody Wrote:That may be the case, but the very definition of a union is an organization of workers that have banded together for the purpose of getting better working conditions or pay, whereas the IfA is always going to suffer for the perception that it's dominated by management. I don't say that this perception is correct, and I know that those in favour of the IfA will say that the way to change this is for everyone to join so that the workers outnumber the management, but when it comes to arguing with the boss for better pay and conditions, I'd rather put my trust in a union than with an organisation that will at the very least have divided loyalties as a result of representing both staff and management.
given there are more archaeologists that are not managers than than archaeologists that are - can you see where i might go with this ???
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
