Some colleagues of mine staged a "sit down and do sod all" until we get paid thingy.At that point, some had`nt been paid for a month plus. I walked off site a week before the strike action cos I was expected to run a site whilst not eating for nearly three weeks. The strike was a complete success. Sadly, after sending the same team off to the Emerald Isle, the unit refused to reimburse the travel costs agreed before departure. This cowboy unit are still working. Obviously, I can`t name the unit involved however, to combat such disreguard for employment rights, I suggest as a profession, we should NETWORK our collective voices.
