I am always surprised when people hark back to the 80's when conditions on-sites are mentioned. Surely it is time for you to move on? Even the space shuttle has been retired now and that was the bees-knees in the 80's.
I worked on a site (acually in this century) were the conditions were raised for the archaeologist by, wait for it, the Union. Yes, that's right, the Union. Surprisingly it was the construction workers union as they would not let any workers on site with less conditions than other site staff as this could set a dangerous precedent affecting their own terms and conditions.
Cheer up though, give it another 10 to 15 and hearing anyone refer to how brilliant-we didn't care about the money- did it for love-you have it so much better than we had in the 80's crap, outside of a nursing home (if there livers hold out). :face-smart:
