I'm an objects and paintings conservator with over 30 years of experience in Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and the USA. Ever since I started in this profession there has been the threat of diminishing the profession for the sake of financial reasons and a cheaper workforce . (Restaurator im Handwerk in Germany for example). This means that I will always support efforts to avoid this fate for fellow conservators, no matter where they are located.
However, I also think that an even cheaper workforce would be welcome by quite a few organisations to reduce the expenses of conservation care for exhibitions and the like. Sad as it is!

Much success with this effort!
