Pay and conditions is not just the responsibility of the Contractor or the IFA or BAJR... it starts with the Digger/Supervisor etc saying we will not work for less than ?xxx - That is up to a union... so Prospect??? where are you??
Absolutely. The only way we can achieve any real, immediate change, is by realising we are part of the problem as well as its victims. I'd like to think that; if I refused to work on a site because of poor H&S, or rotten wages, there wouldn't be three other unemployed excavators ready to fill my shoes but...without solidarity, no amount of complaining will achieve anything.
Jeez.. I sound like a union rep...sorry
