Kier building maintenance workers are balloting for strike following the construction giant's plan to delay paying its workforce.
The massive takeover of May Gurney - an acquisition of another 6,000 workers - is rumoured to have the normally cash rich company scratching about for pound coins down the back of the sofa.
Up and down the country, TUPE staff have seen their terms and conditions eroded as they have moved to the Kier way of life. Many of the workforces that have seen increased demands on output and streamlining, often working with clumsy Kier management notorious for U-turns and panic measures, haven't seen pay rises for 4 and 5 years.
Kier has building maintenance contracts with local authorities in Harlow, North Tyneside, Islington, Stoke, Barnsley and Sheffield.
