There's also a difference between doing a good job but having to screw people over in terms of contracts/wages/conditions in order to achieve it and still win work and attempting to improve all of these things through mutual co-operation and helping each other out while still maintaining standards. There's too many loose canons in archaeology who think that only they know best and that they shouldn't be accountable to anyone else nor indulge in any collaboration to improve things as a whole. Can't you see that more people joining the IfA might actually improve things in the long run, rather than just sniping from the sidelines? It might take a while but the end result might be worthwhile (to get back to the topic though, I still don't see the point of a Royal Charter at this stage).
