I was employed by the Railways and the again the union negotiated the rates but there was nothing stopping me asking for a ROP further up the band.

The Alex have a pay structure like all football clubs and the club will make an offer that can be accepted or rejected and so cannot see where the agent needs to get involved.

Care homes offer the minimum wage to carers and most have to accept it or remain unemployed and they have a trade union too but again they could ask for more but then I accept that would be extremely difficult and so what good are the unions in that regard?
