Workers on Crossrail are quizzing contractors over progress on the project as industrial relations continue to sour on the scheme.
The Enquirer understands that Freedom of Information requests have been lodged by union Unite over progress compared to the planned timetable.
One worker said: “The union has got them hopping around asking for information about whether the job is on time.
“We’ve been hearing all sorts about things like a lack of drawings on parts of the job.”
The requests are the latest union tactic in a drive to secure finishing bonuses for electricians.
Unite is also understood to be quizzing firms over staged bonus payments for white collar workers and management.
Another site source said: “The union is just checking exactly who is getting paid bonuses at the moment and what exactly they are getting them for.”
A Crossrail spokesman said they had not received any FoI requests from the union.
The Enquirer understands that a dispute over a lack of toilets on the site has also been settled.
Workers were having to walk up to two miles to use the loo.
A worker said: “Shortly after that story was published a whole convoy of portable toilets appeared on the job.”
