Skilled workers on the 拢2.6bn Heathrow Terminal 5 project will earn 拢55,000 a year under a deal between Laing O鈥橰ourke and unions.
Unskilled workers will earn 拢32,000 a year gross, about the same salary as an office manager.
Laing O鈥橰ourke is the first contractor to reach agreement with the construction unions (UCATT, GMB and T&G) over T5 pay and conditions. This will be used as a benchmark for other contractors.
An insider on the pay talks confirmed the 拢55,000 and 拢32,000 salary figures, and added that the wage deal deviated from normal large-site agreements as it included shift payments and offered workers 29 days paid holiday. The insider said the deal complied with the working time directive鈥檚 48-hour working week rule.
A BAA spokesperson said the talks between Laing O鈥橰ourke and the unions had finished. Laing O鈥橰ourke refused to comment.
UCATT general secretary George Brumwell said he was pleased with the agreement but refused to confirm the rates agreed.
Brumwell said: 鈥淭here鈥檚 no more haggling, we know where we stand. Laing O鈥橰ourke knows where we stand. And it鈥檚 a very good deal.鈥�
He said it included a commitment to direct employment, an occupational health scheme and an incentive scheme under which the workforce would receive a bonus if the project beats its targets.
In a separate development, it has emerged that hundreds of refugees could be offered jobs on the project under plans drawn up by BAA.
T5 officials have been in talks with charity Refugee Aid and Development over the recruitment of refugees into the construction industry.
Fawzia Adam, a director of the charity, said there would be a national campaign to attract refugees to the project within the next few months.
Adam would not be drawn on the number of refugees on the T5 project but it is expected to run into the hundreds. Adam said applicants will be offered full training and language tuition.
She said: 鈥淭alks are at a preliminary stage but we will be talking to the Construction Industry Training Board and other industry bodies to help train and attract refugees to work on the T5 project.鈥�
A BAA spokesperson said the move was part of the airport operator鈥檚 strategy to attract more ethnic minorities to construction. He said: 鈥淧art of BAA鈥檚 local labour strategy targets ethnic and minority groups.鈥�
BAA intends to advertise for workers in cultural centres and places of worship. It will also use Asian radio station Sunrise. The site will have a dedicated recruitment centre to be run by Jobcentre Plus.
