Hi Y'all, hope you don't mind my tuppence-worth. I'm not trying to be contentious here but; What are we actually WORTH? (money-wise that is!)
What I mean is..If we ever are in a position to bargain as a professional body, to which other profession would we compare ourselves in order to justify our claim to higher salaries? Teachers? Nurses? Social Workers? what do people think? Also, as far as strike action is concerned, would this effect developers? if so it could be a very useful tool. If, on the other hand, it simply meant that work could plough on regardless of the archaeology...I'm not sure where PPG16 would stand on that. Anyone know?
That'll do for now, makin' myself gloomy..
