CSCS cards and IFA membership in job adverisements for diggers...what a laugh

[P Prentice]

No - its a pain in the arse to organise cscs cards when you need to put people on site as soon as they start. inevitably people start in dribs and drabs and it is too expensive to have them twiddling off site if they are not allowed on until they have a card - even though the cscs scheme is a joke verging on scam. by asking for cscs cards you automatically filter out people who are not really serious about getting a job. all ifa ro's will say that ifa membership is desirable because it is. neither of these things indicate you are a good archaeologist or digger and their use will always be dependent on available supply of labour but they are a useful starting point and filter

@bigal - why would any organisation be interested in promoting benefits to non-members? or what have the romans ever done for us.
but yes join a union - get empowered
