Interesting view, can't say I totally agree but I think you should start a new topic, worth discussing imho, but I think you might be disappointed with the response.
Probably worth starting a new topic if its not been done already.
I wouldn't be disappointed regardless of the outcome.
If most punters are happy paying £150.00 /hr. then theres no point trying to resolve any issue that doesn't exist.
However if they are not here is an opportunity to try and do something about it.
The girls are on agencies because it allows collective bargaining power to create a monopoly on prices charged.
Independents look at the agencies and take that price as an indication to what is possible.
If one of them changed it would rock the apple cart and the other would have to fall in line to be competitive.
At the end of the day they are running a business which is driven by market forces.
The problem is the market is segmented doesnt know how to collectively influence their supplier.
You can guarantee once one agency jumped on board the others would follow suit.
Ps Vorian,
Interested in what you dont agree with. Is it the principle or the practice.
Ps...new post I think as this is now off topic. can we copy and paste and continue there :-)
