Seem's a pretty decent wage for labouring I'd have thought.

It is. Qualified tradespeople aren't even on that in lots of places.

Jaysus 550 for 5 days work from 7.30 to 3.30. These boys don't know how good they have it.
I quit my job at the start of the year and before i found a new permanent position a pal of mine got me the odd day labouring with him. We generally worked form 8 to half 4 or 5 but had 1 1/2 to 2 hours on the road in both the morning and the evening and were getting paid 100 a day and i felt that was very fair, my friend who had gotten me the few days work is basically a carpenter and can do a spot of blocklaying and plumbing too so is as skilled a labourer as you're likely to come across just doesn't have the papers and he says it's a very fair wage so these boys seem to just be moaners.

OP, you say that your father has several crews.

Rather than fire one or more of them, could he not simply mix up the crews spreading the three of the out over three different crews.

A couple of times, if my dad left to go to another site, or get materials ect, they would quite often leave at 3, and deny it if my dad approached them on it.

Does this company not even have foremen on site to stop these people who I'd assume are groundsmen/labourers leaving?

what kind of work are these men doing.

who are they labouring for. surely the person the are labouring for has some insight into whats going on .

Yeah, it's such a bizarre thread in fairness.

Actually, my god. The OP creates an unreal amount of strange threads.

Are they paid 110 in the hand every day? Our labourers are we pick up tax prsi etc.

TBH there is a militancy coming back into the construction industry again and unions are wratcheting up the anti too. just look at poolbeg yesterday.

BUT there's a huge move away from employees as a result in the industry in general so the unions will soon be out of subs and out of business. We now only take on people on self employed basis. It's better too as the nature of construction is transient and different to other industries. I'd look into self employed crews OP.
