This is the point I think Kathryn. The IFA will always be on a shoogly peg if they say on one hand "We want to see pay and conditions rise" , while on the other they "will just put up ALL adverts that they collate from other advertising sources"
We have discussed this fiercely for years, and to be clear
RAO jobs all go up anyway (unless they are glaringly bad - ie 4 quid a week ). and only after the JIS is published are they then checked :face-thinks: Every other job is just put up regardless.. no matter how low the pay. BAJR on the other hand checks jobs before they go up, contacts companies, negotiates etc, if it is not possible to be sure from the advertisement alone then check ... as a service to everyone. It looks like this may be a fundamental issue that the IFA will have to consider.... :face-huh: I have to admit I had not even considered it until brought up.
Does the IFA have a responsibility to its members? Is it fair to allow poorly paid jobs to be advertised by the same group that are trying to get rid of them? :face-huh: Confused..
However... we should move forward - and there are so many other points in the consultation.
To agree with Oxbeast â a mixed message is not a strong message.
