I've just come across What Next Culture<http://www.whatnextculture.co.uk/> as a possible way of campaigning on issues like this, but haven't yet participated in it - has anyone, and if so can they recommend it?

Although there is the thought that people have a right to choose whether to apply and to make informed choices One further thought, will they be paid travel expenses on top - that at least might be helpful.. otherwise it would take the wage down even further. My observations seem to indicate that people are being offered far less for thee kinds of roles than they were several years ago.. It's very concerning. what campaigning is being/can be done within the sector? liz From: Jenni Waugh<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Sent: Monday, October 13, 2014 10:06 PM To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: Living wage Whilst I am in no way a fan of the way that anyone in our sector is underpaid and undervalued, considering our experience, talent, dedication, level of qualification, creativity and general superbness, the slightly tarnished silver lining of this situation is that at least the applicant is actually being offered some money for their work, instead of being expected to volunteer their expertise, time, dedication, talent (see the list above) for free. That said, to meet the Living Wage of £7.65 would at least be a start. Let's remember our affirmations<http://www.more-selfesteem.com/affirmations.htm> people! Say them with me... "My thoughts and opinions are valuable" "I am a unique and special person and worthy of respect from others." "I deserve to be happy and successful" Yours Jenni Jenni Waugh Consulting email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Mobile: 07746 018197 Website: http://jenniwaughconsulting.com/ Twitter: @jenniwaugh<twitter.com/jenniwaugh> LinkedIn: http://uk.linkedin.com/in/jenniwaugh Specialist in Heritage sector audience development - social media & marketing - digital skills development - diversity & equality in the workplace - project management P Do you really need to print this email?

The range of possible wages for zero-hours posts, generally in delivering educational workshops or other content, is staggering. As well as the guidance being prepared on suitable budgets for freelance contracts someone could draw up some guidelines for acceptable levels of pay for zero-hours contracts. Or perhaps abjure their use altogether?
