The thing is though, I don't need "Auntie CILIP" to tell me whether a job is badly paid.  And I can make up my own mind whether to apply or not.
 
Sometimes I won't apply for a job as it is too low-paid to make it worthwhile.
 
Equally, there may one day be circumstances in which I can't afford not to apply, even if I feel the employer is undervaluing the post. 
 
And this suggestion, though well intentioned, could stigmatise those who apply for the jobs, many of whom may be doing so through financial necessity.

Perhaps the jobs could be listed under the heading 'The following posts have been advertised at salaries below CILIPs recommendations. Members are advised not to apply'

And, given that Librarians are members of other bodies as well as or instead of CILIP, and other bodies or organisations advertise jobs (eg TFPL), perhaps some partnership working on the issue would be in order, so that the profession presents a united front? (or is that another part of Tony Mcsean's 'bigger picture' that we don't see?)

    If CILIP is intent on taking the low-paying employer's advertising shilling
    (and personally, I do not think it should), why does it not separate those
    ads which do meet CILIP pay rate standards from those that do not ? How
    difficult could this be ?
