Well said Kevin, I'd like to add my signature to that letter. In fact an open letter from IfA members (and non members) might be a good idea?
By the way, the democratically elected council that is spoken of, guess how many votes there were for this years candidates?
109!
I would strongly urge all members of the IfA to write to council as a collective and individually to make their voice heard and call for an EGM. This undemocratic, premeditated attempt at a coup, backed up by 'threats', presumably to pull out of the RO scheme, is not acceptable within any organisation. As Kevin has said, the place to propose and debate any changes of this magnitude is the AGM, given that this was deliberately ignored, an EGM is the appropriate place.
Council and membership agreed on the benchmarking scheme, and signed up to implementing a 13% increase in minima for the next three years, the events of last week were a premeditated attack on fair pay for archaeologists.
Whose Ifa is it? Use your voice.
