Our bosses owe us!

Our members, who operate under the National Agreement for Engineering Construction Industry (NAECI) , are angry that their real wages have been steadily falling after a Covid pay freeze and a two year below inflation pay deal.

They’ve been left struggling to pay their bills during the cost-of-living crisis, while the companies involved have been raking it in.

The sites and the industries our members work in are awash with cash. Most are generating massive profits. But the pay offer for 2024/25 is simply not good enough to restore workers’ wages.

Low pay rates are causing severe workforce shortages, as workers leave for higher pay elsewhere.

NAECI employers and contractors need to get their priorities right.

Raise NAECI wage rates now! 
Vote Yes to strike! 

Strikes will cause major disruption. The workers conduct critical repair and maintenance at the above listed sites.
