A person's ability to have a job should never depend on their paying fees to a non professional organisation.

I always remember back in the 60s, the incredulity when a co-worker was describing how when they went with a pontoon up north to one of the shipyards, there had to be five workers used to bolt two wooden fenders on the side.

A boiler maker and his mate to drill through the steel, a carpenter and his mate to drill through the wood and a fitter to do up the bolts.

Something which in our factory one of the younger lads would have done on their own.

That's also down to unions and has a lot to do with the demise of much of the industry.
