Protests To Be Held At Firms Blocking London Living Wage For Construction Workers
Construction unions UCATT and Unite will organise a series of co-ordinated protests today, 19th August, at the headquarters of employers' organisations which have blocked the introduction of the London Living Wage for construction workers.
Last month the employers on the Construction Industry Joint Council (CIJC) blocked union proposals that all workers employed in the London area and covered by the agreement should receive at least the London Living Wage.
Currently the rate for labourers and general operative working under the CIJC is just £8.52 an hour compared to the London Living Wage of £9.15. If as expected the London Living Wage increases later this year, an even greater number of workers covered by the agreement will be paid below the LLW.
In response to the employers actions UCATT and Unite will stage protests outside the offices of the:
• Home Builders Federation, 7-9 St James Street, SW1A 1EE
• Civil Engineering Contractors Association, 1 Birdcage Walk, London SW1H 9JJ
• National Access and Scaffolding Confederation, 12 Brideswell Place, London EC4V 6AP
