accomadation isnt a 'perk'...its a necessity and normal practise in other construction/engineering work. Companies skimp on this, provide in adaquate, and in some cases, actually unsafe accomadation. i have proof of this, but without naming a particular unit, i cant put it here.
As a point on pay etc....the going rate for a groundworker, laying pipes, advertized currently in the North East is ?10 per hour, unqualified labour, plus an acc pay or ?20 a day.
the rate of pay for a supervisor to monitor this pipe laying...?6.30 an hour, no acc, no transport costs and you better not complain, cos you'll get sacked!
