Amicus Organise Protest Rally

Amicus, the largest manufacturing union in the United Kingdom, with over one million members in the public and private sectors, are holding a rally and lobby of Parliament to protest at the exploitation of migrant labour in the UK's construction sector.

Amicus members will be meeting with their MPs to demand that publicly funded construction projects like the Olympics use workers that are covered by union negotiated national agreements and are directly employed.

In a recent article Amicus' General Secretary, Derek Simpson, said:
"We are determined to achieve direct employment in construction underpinned by national agreements........We will not accept the exploitation of cheap labour in the UK and the undermining of the hard won terms and conditions of our members. Construction is not the only industry affected by this problem so we are calling on workers from other industry sectors to join us in our rally and lobby of Parliament in London on 28th March."
