IfA Minima Debate - THE RESULT

[Unitof1]

chiz lately there has been quite a lot in the papers that there are millions more in employment than in 2008 yet gdp has dropped. This is right accross the board except for curators gdp which will for ever will go up even if their salaries have been fixed for sometime now (and miraculusly they have still all kept their jobs). What appears to be happening is that people are working for far less, and this predominatly, must be in the private sector, as well as them producing less! Apart from the gdp fiqures for the late 90s and early noughties being fake and based on credit whats probably most inportant right now more than ever is trying to get some gurennteed money for the next year or so. The fact that bloody archaeology is site based and intermitant means thats a blood near impossible thing to do.


I would say thay if you can get £14000 for a years work I would grab it. Your pie was set in a bloody stupid credit bubble which saw house prices triple in a few years and we now live in a stupid fake low interest environment which wont let the housing market collapse and all the zombie companies go to the wall as well (that includes the ifa). Theres a thread on sexual harassment come up on bajr and I would suggest that its partly symtomatic of the despairation for jobs, wage minima were brought into archaeology in the boom years to stop in work archaeologists getting a bit more of the cream. Was there a motion put foreward to lower the minima and how did it go?
