Introduction

As the UK’s only trade union specialising in construction, UCATT is at the forefront of negotiations concerning your pay, terms and conditions of employment with your employer in all the main agreements covering the construction industry.

The Construction Industry Joint Council agreement sets rates of pay for around 600,000 construction workers on the country’s major building and infrastructure sites. The agreement sets standards for the industry on pay and conditions. UCATT also represents members in a number of other allied trades to the construction industry such as Refractory Users and Steeplejack and Lightning Conductors and the Demolition Industry.
The website will keep you updated with current pay rates and major conditions in agreements which involve UCATT members.
