Holiday pay – Claim it now!

From this October workers are entitled to an extra 4 days holiday giving 24 days bank holidays can be included. This is the minimum PAYE CIS and agency workers are entitled to these holidays –it’s the law. Your union should get you holiday pay – don’t let the employers rob you! Did you know that most union officials get 35 days holiday plus bank holidays? Perhaps they could try and get more holidays for union members and all site workers when they get time. The national minimum wage has gone up to a pathetic £5.52 per hour. Believe it or not, some building firms and agencies are paying this piss poor rate to their workers. Its high time unions fought for a pay rise – how are people meant to live on this money, less than £200 a week after tax over 40 hours.
