Glasgow construction workers protest against agency labour

CONSTRUCTION workers are campaigning against the use of agency labour on a building site at Glasgow University.

The Unite members held a demonstration at the campus today after Multiplex was appointed as the main contractor on the university’s campus development programme.

Workers are urging the university’s principal Anton Muscatelli not to allow human rights to be “undermined on his doorstep.”
