Strange there has been no mention of this survey in:-
1) FI
2) Flyer
3) The Times (Would make good story and there would be a whistle blower)!
4). On Here
before Ianblack mentioned it.
A private researcher who is a trade union something. Makes even less sense now. After all you would be a shop steward, would you not!
Most journalists are in a union.
If this research is for a public body, and I have carried out such work myself in a different field; you get access to the staff to carry out interviews. This is illustrated by IIP.
Also if it is for public consumption and is commissioned by a public body then it will have to go to a committee in final draft before publication. This means that you could not publish it here first!
In my former profession I wrote 2 papers for the predecessor to the ODPM, the DTLR so am exceptionally well versed in the process.
I rest my case
