Accidents and fatalities on a building site is actually MORE important than that.
God forbid anyone is seriously injured or worse on that site but it'd be a massive uptick in protesting outside that dock. And LOR have a dreadful record on safety.
The club have the means to sort this out.

Honestly, I understand safety is an absolute paramount in construction, or indeed any form of engineering. However, protesting because they want a Union presence on site does not mean they are a bunch of cowboys. That being said, I’d encourage everyone to be apart of a union.
I’m sorry Dave, we are living in volatile times. The world is on the brink of ripping itself apart, the country is heading back to the 80s with the working conditions this government would like to impose, kids are going to school starving because parents can’t afford food. This is nowhere near as important, it’s a stadium for a hobby. I’m sure there are plenty of locals on here who work for LOR and I don’t see any screaming the house down about the working conditions, of course, that’s not to say people aren’t asked to do stuff they don’t want to do/are unqualified to do. I’m not defending LOR, they should have union representation on site, but they also shouldn’t have a gun held to their head by them either.

How is someone surviving work with their life in tact not as important?
It's very simple to end this dispute. The club does the right thing and actually backs up its proud boast of being a People's Club with deeds or are forever seen as frauds going along with a bunch of anti-union scumbags like LOR.

Because there are literally thousands of sites across the UK were people manage not to kill or maim themselves.

Take a look at LOR's record.
Have there been many accidents yet at Bramley Moore Dave ? And not that anyone wants anyone to get hurt like.

Would we get to know with that lot?
I hope there never is. But LOR have a terrible record.

Found some historical incidents for which they have been held to account for, think 2017 is the most recent one. I’ve worked in the new Royal a fair bit, dealt with a few LOR lads and nobody seems to causing a scene, from my experience.

So I was on the Unite website forum where there was a lively debate about union reps allowed into worksites, safety, working practices and the possibility of using industrial action.
The thing is that that informative and lively debate then took a weird turn as they started to randomly talk about the Stadium build at BMD where pictures and drone footage were being posted.
Mad lot then at Unite.

Yes. Any word getting back to management that they're unhappy and they're on dodgy ground.
BTW, 2 died in Liverpool just over a year ago on a LOR site in Liverpool.
