I admit I am now more a union member out of principle than through active involvement, but when I was more actively involved, I think I helped to make a difference. I still (surprisingly) get people thanking me for efforts we made to get compensation for archaeologists sacked in the Museum of London big clear out in the early 90s. And up to that point the union did a lot to raise the wages and conditions of archaeologists above the national average...We had archaeologists on £20,000 pa back in 1990...
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
