Dear All,
I can't remember who mentioned this in our lengthy
debate, but I agree that the LA should make a stand. I am
outraged when I see the LA advertising jobs that ask
for super-librarians but only pay peanuts!! You can't stop
people applying for low paid work as we all have bills to
pay, but I do feel that the LA should refuse to advertise
post that only encourage the view that librarians are happy
to be exploited! If we are trying to improve our lot then
the LA record should reflect our true worth. I don't know
what the knock effect of this would be. Maybe this
suggestion isn't a practical one but it is difficult to
know where to start with this issue!
