More than 100 construction workers have staged a morning demonstration outside Crossrails Canary Wharf headquarters on Friday (25 November).
The protest was as a result of pay dispute between the parties and organisers are calling for meaningful negotiations with Crossrail in a bid to end the industrial row. Some of the demonstrators were from the Union of Construction Allied Trades and Technicians (UCATT) and Unite trade unions.
Its a demonstration because they refused to talk to the unions in regards to a second tier payment, Guy Langston, a regional Unite officer for Crossrail told IBTimes UK.
Health and safety is an abomination so these lads have taken it upon themselves to come out and have day of action.
A spokesperson for Crossrail said: We are aware of this demonstration by Unite the union who are seeking to secure a bonus payment from Crossrails principal contractors.
