CLC co-chair and union back move to direct employment

Andy Mitchell
The co-chair of the Construction Leadership Council (CLC) and a senior union official have backed a new call on the industry to reduce its reliance on self-employed tradespeople.
CLC co-chair Andy Mitchell and Unite assistant general secretary Gail Cartmail, also president of the Trades Union Congress, wrote in a foreword to a report released on Thursday that a “healthier, more sustainable balance” between self-employed and direct employment “needs to be restored”.
Construction Newsrevealed earlier this week that the government is working on how to encourage this shift in the industry.
The new report was released by the Electrotechnical Joint Industry Board (JIB), the body responsible for issuing the trade’s essential Electrotechnical Certification Scheme competence cards in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It used electrical contracting as a case study to draw conclusions about the construction sector as a whole.
