Construction site protest anger builds

WORKERS showed “non-compliant” building sub-contractors the red card at an event yesterday.

Protesters assembled outside a site operated by Cairn Homes on Hanover Quay to highlight alleged failures to comply with legally-binding terms for employees.

Siptu’s John Regan said: “Symbolic ‘red cards’ were distributed to workers and members of the public.

“On the cards the issues associated with noncompliance in the industry are outlined including below legal pay rates, not contributing to pension and sickness schemes and employing people as bogus self-employed.”
