A group of 20 electricians have received their withheld Christmas wages after staging a demonstration outside an east London site.<\/p>\n
The Unite union said the sparks were engaged by subcontractor JW Morris on a site run by contractor Acom in Hoxton for client IG1 Global Real Estate Development.<\/p>\n
When the workers returned from their Christmas break this week they discovered that JW Morris was no longer on the site and their wages had not been paid.<\/p>\n
Workers were owed more than \u00a31,000 each and Unite organised a demonstration outside the site yesterday.<\/p>\n
Regional organiser Vince McCoy then met with Acom representatives and arrangements are now in place for all outstanding wages to be paid today.<\/p>\n
McCoy said: \u201cOur members faced severe financial hardship through having their wages unpaid.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was only through Unite\u2019s intervention that the company was forced to do the right thing and ensure that the workers received all the money they were owed.”<\/p>\n
