CIJC Construction Workers Must Receive Pay Increase
Construction union UCATT are urging workers covered by the Construction Industry Joint Council (CIJC) agreement to ensure that they receive the pay rise, which comes into effect today, 5th September.
Pay rates have been increased by 1.5%. The minimum rates under the CIJC agreement are now £7.87 an hour for a general operative/labourer increasing to £10.46 an hour for a craft worker.
The CIJC is the largest industrial agreement in the construction industry and 500,000 workers are covered by the agreement.
George Guy, Acting General Secretary of UCATT, said: "It is essential that all workers covered by the CIJC agreement receive what they are entitled to. There is no reason for any CIJC construction employer to withhold this increase.
"UCATT will take strong action to ensure that all our members who are entitled to this pay increase receive it. Employers who think they can force construction workers to undertake highly skilled physical work for a pittance will be named and shamed."
As part of the pay claim agreed with employers earlier this year, travel and subsistence allowances for CIJC workers increased in line with inflation and have been payable since Monday 27th June 2011.
