Union backs petition

The Museum of London branch of Prospect has pledged its support for the Petition for Change. The union branch, which represents MoLAS archaeologists as well as museum workers, joins hundreds of others who are calling for an end to poverty pay and a decent career structure in the heritage sector.

Eighty people signed at the London based unit after the petition was circulated around MoLAS's HQ and sites.

The petition demands that the Institute of Field Archaeologists (IFA) raises its
minimum recommended pay rate to the European Decency Threshold of £280 per
week. This change would cost the IFA nothing, but would mean a real improvement to the lives of thousands of low-paid workers. The IFA estimates that archaeology contributes £100 million to the economy. Get your copy of the petition here
