Campaign to keep IfA minimum salaries

[BAJR]

I do hope that fundamentally all contractors are committed to improving pay within this sector and I realise they have genuine concerns with trying to implement pay increases in what was a troubled environment. They all have a deep experience in business practice and will realise that although the market will not tolerate significant increase in costs ( where salary bills form a large part of the operating budget) they must invest in a future for the sector as a whole, even with the paltry sums talked about in additional costs. I am able to confirm that currently there is a lack of suitable archaeologists able to take current advertised posts.... this is a time to attract people to the sector, rather than produce the spectre of potential legal challenges - which quite frankly is offensive.

Let us hope that those that banded together to call for the minima to be scrapped will not have sway the Council on the 30th.

Here are the names of Council>

Let us tell them that we would support the retention of minima.
Let us tell them that we WILL NOT stand by and watch meekly
