You are then asking for a further 5% on top of this?
Nope... the IFA intend to increase base pay by xx% PLUS pension PLUS sickness PLUS holiday
BAJR is asking that the xx% (ie the unknown) is made into 5% a nice simple one...
So nope I am not asking for an additional 5% I am asking that the xx% is 5%
As to the RAO non-RAO tender pattern...
well a) perhaps not advertising on BAJR does have an affect... (it has in the past... )
and once again it comes down to self-responsibility
If a Digger or Supervisor or Illustrator or whoever will go and work for a company that pays less than the IFA / BAJR rates.. then I may as well give up trying to help raise pay and conditions..all that happens is more companies will have to pay less... and then we have a DOWNward pay spiral... at a time when pay should be going UP.. because of a need for staff..
Then it will be the staff themselves that take it down...
VoR.. please read this ..

It has been out and been in the hands of every Contractor since January .. to allow time to talk about it...
(ps... I personally have trouble with the pension element - but feel I have to support the IFA / Diggers Forum)
As to the increase... of 10% .. so that means you were not paying for hoidays or sickness before? the 5% rise on basic pay equates to an extra £1 a day per Digger - not exactly break the bank money?
