Fightback - SITA Sembcorp UK rebuttal
For its part TWinFM has obtained a rebuttal of the charges made by the GMB fro SITA Sembcorp UK. A spokesman for the company stated:
“It’s important to provide some context here – none of the people working at the Wilton 11 site has been involved with any of the protests that have taken place so far. The facts are:
The two sides appear to be as far apart as ever and the GMB contests the points made by SITA UK.
“I hope the Teesside Construction Committee hold many more protests and only ease up when Redcar and Cleveland council only sign planning consents with a the proviso that the construction is undertaken using the appropriate collective agreements,” declared Phil Whitehurst, National Officer, GMB, speaking at the Saturday rally. “In the UK this is Construction Industry Joint Council (CIJC) for civil construction and National Agreement for the Engineering Construction Industry (NAECI) for mechanical construction.”
Picture: The GMB members were out in force on Saturday to highlight the continuing dispute with SITA Sembcorp UK.
