CIJC announces pay increase

The Construction Industry Joint Council (CIJC) Working Rule Agreement (WRA) covers the largest number of workers in the construction industry.  As the industry standard it influences the terms of employment of approximately half a million workers. 

CIJC employers have today announced that following negotiations with the signatory trade unions a pay increase of 1.5% has been agreed with effect from 5th September 2011, which brings to an end a pay standstill of just over 2 years.
