Redearth are you talking about people coming in and working in what you might consider your patch? In a way this problem of travel/accomodation is what must be one of the biggest hidden cost in bajrs pay scales. Its presumably the area that most of the competative tenders compete on.......
Those tendering for a job furthest away must be screwing down travel cost and time to compeat if they are to pay thier workers all the same for the same job brief.
This subject is always presented as worker exploitation rather than deliberate underfunding of field work which is the only way that a tender from a unit with a distant permanant place of work can under cut if all other things are equal.
