I need 5 scaffolders for a dry dock shutdown starting tomorrow in Portsmouth Dockyard.

Job is expected to last 2 weeks, will run for the full 14 days including weekends.

The rates are as follows and are for 10 hour days:-

Advanced/Basic - £13.00 per hour
Trainee/Part 1 - £10.00 per hour

I know the rates are fantastic, but it is 7 days a week for the 2 week duration.

There are no digs for this job.

If interested call Brendon 0845 2411230 @ ATR Fusion (emp bus)

Brendon your right mate the rates are not fantastic in fact they are a fooking disgrace ! but hey lads look on the bright side you can have arses warmed for 7 x 10 hour shifts rather than the basic shafting of 5 x 8 hour shifts. , what a result !!!
 
Podger,

No offence and not looking to get into an argument.

I am well aware of what rates scaffolders are working for, I have been recruiting them for over 10 years, and am not looking to take the piss out of anyone.

I look on most of the jobs on here and the rates vary from anywhere between £10 and £16, so why are the rates on this in partocular a "******* disgrace"?

People either choose to take the job or they don't, it's entirely up to them.

Cheers
 
This is industrial work rather than putlog on a new build housing site which requires a slightly different skill set , the going rate for agency scaffs working in the industrial sector is around £17phr but you know that !

Are ATR taking the piss ? Post your answers here troops
 
It's not an "industrial shut down" it's work on dry dock boats.

I completely agree we would look to pay higher on an industrial job, but we're also dictated by the client but what we can pay.

Scaffs either choose to call or they don't, but it's only a big deal because you're making it one!

Not bad for your first post ellio, have to agree with you 100%.
 
mr boner i've sat on and off on the national shop stewards forum representing unite
members who are scaffolders for about the last ten years.
one of the main aims of the shop stewards forum is to defend the national agreements set up in this country.it is your choice to advertise on here for your so called client but to be honest with you we need people on this site who support national agreements not firms that are increasingly ripping the pish out of the hardest working tradesmen in the construction industry.

I to do not wish to get into an argument about what does and does not constitute an industrial site .

It would be fair to say a higher rate of pay compared to say a housing site should be on offer in a dockyard environment especially when said rate encompasses all hours worked,

You readily admit the rate on offer is not fantastic so why don't you inform your client you can not supply him with reliable competent scaffs at the rate he wants to pay instead of posting on here trying to mug off a few naive and possibly desperate lads :mad::mad::mad:
 
i love the way the recruitment agency d ick knows more about our job and its pay rates then us! what a tit......

one of the main aims of the shop stewards forum is to defend the national agreements set up in this country. but defending your ecitb unite members is obviously not a main aim for your scaffolder members is it, im sure it was unite who hung them out to dry over the ecitb stuff
 
Sorry to say this but im local to portsmouth, been scaffolding throughout hants, sussex and surrey and at that rate you must expect sh1t.

SH1T rates = Slashes

The reason a working man will take a kick in the pocket like that is either he is absolute toss and has been through all the local firms, and binned every time or the drug habbit has got him hard and anything will do!

With this sort of incentive for risking your life everyday no wonder there's no younger gen comin thro.......................:mad:
 
******* piss takers they try because some mug who skint or got a foreing card will work for that or less,

If some of the spineless ba**ards joined the SCCR, and not the Unions we could all have a say, in where our industry is going, the unions do f**k all for us, but if you had all nearly 8000 members on the forum sign up and took a stand, you could have all the agencies and companies having to pay the rate, cause at the end of the day, we are all getting the pi** taken out of us, and 90% of u are taking it, but if u had a bloke in the pub taking the p**s out of u, you would drop him, but yet you take it at work. think a head, cause it will only get worse, :sad:
 
T.Animal, I agree with most of what you say in your post. The thing is, the way things are at the moment with the economy, people aren't always willing to make a stand. I'm not saying people don't care but a lot of lads always have it in the back of their minds that if they rock the boat with their gaffer or the company they are working for, they stand a chace of getting sacked.

I know some would say its the politics of fear but all the same, it is happening.

It's good to have morals and to be able to make a stand for something you believe in but unfortunately morals don't pay mortgages.

Another thing that brings up disagreements is rates of pay.


Ask 20 lads in here what they think is a decent hourly rate and I'll tell you now you'll get 10 different answers. There are a lot of different factors to consider.
1. Area of the country. North, South, Scottish Highlands?
2. Type of work. Shipyard, Building sites, Street work, Power stations?
3. Experience. qualified for 4yrs, 15yrs?
4. Qualifications. Basic, Advanced?

In the last few days on here, I've seen posts where lads are working for £10/hr up, £13/hr, £17/hr up to £20/hr

I admire lads for wanting to make a stand for fair pay, but the days of militants trying to hold companies to ransom are long gone.

The future has to be negotiation through a group like the SCCR.
I appreciate it is going to be a long hard slog to gain recognition, with unions never mind companies. There are other posts on this forum where the SCCR has been declined the chance of meetings with other bodies.
