A further 300,000 construction workers are paid via umbrella companies.<\/p>\n<h3>Unite\u2019s recommendations<\/h3>\n<p>Prior to the government\u2019s employee assistance scheme being announced, Unite recommended that all <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/hr-skills-news\/self-employed-tradespeople\/58707\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">self-employed workers<\/a> who are taxed at source (which would encompass CIS workers) be treated as workers, and all workers including those paid by CIS, should be considered to be employees for the purpose of the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>With sites in the UK already reducing the number of construction workers employed as a result of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/coronavirus-engineering-industry\/73560\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">coronavirus crisis<\/a>, and further closures expected in the coming weeks and months, urgent action is needed to protect these workers who are denied even the most basic employment rights.<\/p>\n<h3>Precarious employment<\/h3>\n<p>The situation in construction is made even riskier since the vast majority of major contractors employ few if any construction workers on their sites. Instead work is subcontracted (often repeatedly) and workers are recruited via labour supply companies or agencies. If the decision is taken to close or mothball a construction site, the main contractor has no direct employment responsibility for the workforce.<\/p>\n<h3>Self-employed construction workers worried<\/h3>\n<p>Unite assistant general secretary Gail Cartmail, said:\u00a0\u201cThe UK\u2019s bricklayers, carpenters, electricians and plumbers will be deeply worried that if they are officially self-employed they will not be protected by the government\u2019s scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost construction workers are the primary breadwinners in their family and swift action is needed to ensure that they are protected throughout the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver half of the industry is officially self-employed, with most of those bogusly self-employed. This is part of the hire and fire culture existing in construction which results in workers being dumped without warning or compensation during downturns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the short term the million-plus workers paid via the Construction Industry \u00a0Scheme (CIS) and the 300,000 plus workers paid through umbrella companies must be brought into the scope of the government\u2019s wage support scheme and Unite will be lobbying government to ensure that occurs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the long term a commission is needed into construction employment to ensure that workers who survive on a feast and famine existence secure proper employment protections.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Construction industry sick pay<\/h3>\n<p>The need for government intervention has been heightened as the industry has metaphorically washed its hands of the crisis.\u00a0In early March, Unite contacted the industry and asked that the qualifying time on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/health-safety-news\/coronavirus-sick-pay\/72960\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">industry sick pay<\/a> was waived during the crisis, so workers who were ill or needed to self-isolate as a precaution could do so and not infect others.<\/p>\n<p>The reasonable and modest request has been rejected or ignored by the employers on all the construction industrial agreements. For example, the JIB electrical agreement replied: \u201cWhilst we appreciate the reasons behind your request, we cannot agree to an unfunded and potentially open-ended increase to JIB employers\u2019 costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Employer failure<\/h3>\n<p>Gail Cartmail, added:\u00a0\u201cOnce again we have been provided with a clear example of how the industry does not take the welfare of its workers seriously, with profits rather than people being its bottom line.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The UK\u2019s construction union, Unite, has urged the government to extend its wage support scheme to protect construction workers trapped in self-employment during the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[304],"tags":[676,54592,283,276,17722],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-73645","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-planning-construction-news","7":"tag-construction","8":"tag-coronavirus","9":"tag-finance","10":"tag-government","11":"tag-unite-the-union"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Unite: Government must extend wage support to bogus self-employed<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Unite has urged the government to extend its wage support scheme to protect construction workers trapped in self-employment during the coronavirus crisis\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/construction-workers-coronavirus-support\/73645\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Urgent action needed to protect self-employed construction workers, says Unite\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Unite has urged the government to extend its wage support scheme to protect construction workers trapped in self-employment during the coronavirus crisis\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/construction-workers-coronavirus-support\/73645\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
