GAMA Workers Picket Dublin Sites to a Standstill

category dublin | worker & community struggles and protests | press release author Thursday April 28, 2005 15:50author by TWAG Report this post to the editors

Today, GAMA workers mounted mass pickets on GAMA sites in Ballymun and Balgaddy.

Reacting to GAMA management’s attempt to break their protest by cutting off their food and removing them from the payroll, workers on stoppage mounted a very effective picket.

Among those who couldn’t get access to sites were East European sub-contractors who have been hired as scab labour to do the work of GAMA workers on stoppage.

It is widely suspected that the East European workers hired by these subcontractors are not getting their proper trade union rates of pay.

GAMA workers are demanding payment for the huge amount of overtime they worked over the last three years without pay.

The mass picketing will resume tomorrow, Friday April 29th.
