'Name And Shame' Firms Who Deny Construction Workers Pay Increase - UCATT

UCATT the union is calling on construction employees to check their wages to make sure employers have a honoured a pay rise.

Pay rates for all workers rose by 3% from 30th June, covered by the Construction Industry Joint Council (CIJC).


The new industry minimum craft rate is now £11.00 an hour and the minimum general operative rate has increased to £8.27 an hour.

Steve Murphy, General Secretary of UCATT, said: "CIJC construction workers need to check their pay packets to make sure that employers honour the promised pay rise. Employers need to be aware that if a UCATT member is denied a pay increase that they are legally entitled to then the matter will be pursued legally and the company named and shamed."
