Lately I'm finding private sub contracting is stuck in the past with wages.

 

I started on £60pd 3years ago

I am now lead climber and well qualified, I load the truck, do the climbing come down do the clearing chipping and tidying I tip and un load.. I currently get paid £100pd and on the odd day £120 but quite rare.

 

I know on the railways bort rate seems to be £120 for un experienced scrub clearance.

 

What are the going rates for Sun contract climber?!

 

Surely we need to move things into the modern era as any old Labourer on a site is paid between 80-100

 

500/600 quid a week isn't something to moan about. Put a bit more effort in on a Saturday and it could be 720.
