Work at the site was halted after subcontractor Michael Jones died on Monday, and Unite says Laing O’Rourke stopped its officers entering the site to freely speak to workers
The firm building Everton's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock has been accused of denying proper union access to the site before worker Michael Jones died.
Trade union Unite has said that construction firm Laing O'Rourke stopped its officers entering the stadium site to freely speak to workers, granting only limited access, reports the Mirror.Merseyside Police and the Health and Safety Executive are investigating Michael’s death, which is not the first loss of life at a Laing O’Rourke construction site.
Unite’s Jerry Swain said: “Unions, especially when safety reps are in place, can swiftly resolve concerns. This kind of relationship hasn’t yet developed on the Everton stadium.” In August 2022, a protest was held at the Bramley Moore site regarding union representation and access.
