BBC NEWS | UK | London 2012 'facing strike risk': "Building projects for the London 2012 Olympics could be hit by strikes and delays unless a uniform rate of pay for workers is agreed, a union has warned.
Building union Ucatt said not doing so was 'recipe for industrial disharmony'.
It claims varying rates among 10,000 staff working on projects including the main stadium will cause delays as they switch jobs to get the best pay.
The Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) said pay was set at 'a national rather than a workplace level'.
Work on the 80,000-seater Olympic Stadium is due to begin in April in Stratford, East London.
Up to 45 contracting firms, including carpenters, bricklayers, roofers, plumbers, electricians and drivers, are expected to be involved."
