Fair point Clare... my comment about Diggers/Field Archaeologists was in relation to these archaeological staff being the worst affected (or would have been) - Given that even with salary levels of 15k. this only relates to working 52 weeks a year. And again, it is the field arch that bears this in general. (freelancers as well.. as a freelance illustrator I was often in that position too)
This was not about being a proper archaeologist, it was about appreciating the reality of no house, cheap car (if any), cheap food, no savings, no hope of savings etc... It is too easy to forget it. I consider you an archaeologist, as I do Phil... what I don't consider is we now know what it is like to survive on air, and try and keep the mouth shut as you need that job, or don't mention the H&S breach, because any job is better than none...etc We can look back and remember, but that is very different from living it. (and I count myself in there too)
I do believe the IfA is starting to show itself more... and thats what was needed.
The vote... well, thats for the IfA members, and with the shock horror announcement that only 109 people voted in the Council elections, it just goes to show what we all knew... in general... we just don't get involved.
You may choose the Republic... but remember... (deep breathing) this is the federation!
