As P Prent says... I would end up the only check on minima. and that would not last too long... as the freefall would find outlets. ( even the JIS would have to carry adverts for minimum wage jobs! )
I still have a sizable number who will pay BAJR grades and above ( the import word is above! ) and this is both ROs and non ROs
Undercutting is the death of archaeology - whether RO or not. I was talking to someone recently who agreed that the tender is based on what will exactly fulfill the brief and be as cheap as possible. the concept of doing a good job was actually quite far down the line.
Not true for many many companies. BUT what do you do if company A next door is paying minimum wage and you still pay decent rates and subs and accommodation? you are forced either down or out... and then what?
It does not have to be like that, but it seems to be...
:face-huh:
