Crossrail’s Bond Street station site could be hit by stoppages following a row over inadequate welfare facilities.
The Enquirer understands that a flood of workers brought on site to get the job finished has overwhelmed facilities on the project.
One electrician said: “It’s a joke down here. We’re working in third world conditions.
“They have bought in so many people that there aren’t enough loos and those that are there are in a terrible state.
“There’s also nowhere to change now and we won’t be treated like this.”
The Enquirer understands that more than 100 electricians staged an unofficial stoppage yesterday while they elected a shop steward.
Another spark added: “A lot of us are unhappy about conditions and we won’t stand by and do nothing about it.”
A Costain/Skanska joint venture is main contractor on the job and the unhappy sparks are employed by a Middlesex based M&E specialist.
