I think its more about who you are trying to win against. Molas has a lot of odd set up points. Although the archaeologists appeared to strike for their own problems, the rest of the scheduled 2 charity museums were about to strike as well and basically it came out as against government pay restraint in the public sector. What I did not understand about the strike is why it was not directed at the governors of Mol or their appointees. This is what I researched at the time after molas seemed to drift out of a quango set up.
Molas seem to be part of a Group that seems to be a schedule two exempt charity (Charities Act 1993) governed by the Museum of London Acts, 1965 and 1986 with twenty Governors on the Board of the Museum, ten of whom are appointed by the Prime Minister and ten by the City of London (resident voting population about 6000) and as of 6th April 2008 Molas said that they are jointly funded by the Greater London Authority which is headed by Boris Johnson as Mayor of London (who might be a bit mifted he as he does not seem to be doing any important appointing of governors, and the City of London Corporation with a Mr David Lewis as its current Lord Mayor. The new Molas web site still gives the impression that they get funding from the Department for culture, media and sport that they were claiming to be part of until they changed their web site
At least in the small private cowboy unit you can stare the director in the eye, break into the accounts on the computer and mix all the labels up in the archive. My point about Molas was what was/is it. Who were they striking against?
