Are sub-contractors under threat?
Loading player...
We discuss the issues facing the building sub-contracting industry – a very important aspect of our local economy. Last month, our news team covered a protest by sub-contractors in the construction industry outside the offices of the Building Industry Bargaining Council in Bellville. The sub-contractors accused the BIBC of ripping them and charging huge levies to small companies.
The main issue here is of compliance in the construction industry. The BIBC says sub-contractors must toe the line and comply - or face the consequences. The regulations, as stipulated by the BIBC, indicate that both the contractor and client may be liable for penalties or even face prosecution should the contractor not be compliant.
Tonight, we invited some building sub-contractors in-studio to talk frankly about these issues.
Joining us for the discussion are members of the Building Society of the Sub Contractors , Suleiman Adams, Shafiek Fakir, Ayanda Peters and Lizzy Maselana
