Fellow Practitioner Issue 240 Dated 5 February 2015

Is the industry being pushed to far?

Read about how far the average wage in our industry is behind the national average.

Are we being forced to incease our prices by 14.1% to cover government regulation?

I like this idea of an industry Board that gives some sort of leadership and would cover apprentices through to business owners.  Is it achievable?  I would imagine if the Federation and the Master Plumbers could sit around a table that would be a start - there needs to be a will to see change.  I think the grass roots people in these industries are ready for change, but there are some people that won't want to see it as their jobs and very reason for being could be at risk. 

How realistic is it that the Federation and Master Plumbers could sit at the same table - it sounds like some things are being worked on in tandem now - can this be extended?

hi guys, from the `fellow Practitioner' today (The Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Act 2006 (the Act) does not allow the Board to consider the impact of its decisions on the supply of tradespeople)
what kind of statement it that. With the amount of ` over regulation` that we have to work within we are forced into an industry based on FEAR. Has anyone noticed that when we go about our normal work duties we are constantly aware of the boards tactics of finding fault, which leads to nag away at our confidence hence possible mistakes which in the past would not have existed, cheers.
