I was just thinking..does anyone have examples of strike action by diggers? I can only remember one case: Elms farm excavation 1991, 120 diggers walked off site.
The now thankfully defunct Tempus Reparatum 1994, Roman Villa Site in Lincolnshire near Stanford (I was using their flotation equipment for another site.) Staff lived in tents and caravans and hadn't received their weekly wages in 6 weeks. They withdrew their labour for an afternoon and were supported by their site director against the Management. Still had to wait to get paid (not completely). Many Staff walked out.
That reminds me how about a thread on "great pay scams I have known"
