The issue is related to the question of health and safety and flowing from that the question of the quality of construction work. For the record, this was an inter-union dispute that the employers had nothing to do with. In reality, the dispute was between two unions, one of which was not properly monitoring pay and health and safety issues and the other of which was prepared to do that and challenge the employers on the issue. If health and safety is being taken seriously, as stated, why are the crane operators not getting the six months' training, which is best practice, and should be the case?
