Hi divingbrit,

No need to trawl the rest of the internet for Olympic information, you can find it here

We have no intention of charging you to read our posts either, though thinking about it, perhaps it's not such a bad an idea - OK joking about the last bit!

Please feel free to post any news or gossip you find on here (and for free!)...

Livingstone brokers Olympic union deal
By Steven Downes



Britain's leading trades unions are close to an agreement with the Mayor of London over working practices during the development of the capital's 2012 Olympic venues, in an effort to avoid site casualties and to prevent the damaging delays that have dogged the £775 million Wembley Stadium project.



Key to making sure that all new venues are delivered in time for the Games in six years' time could be a binding arbitration clause with the unions over disputes.

According to a report in the specialist Olympic newsletter www.insidethegames.com, London Mayor Ken Livingstone has held discussions with Brendan Barber, the TUC general secretary, to develop a a ground-breaking "Olympic charter" to guarantee minimum working standards on all London 2012 building projects based on experience from Wembley and Heathrow’s Terminal 5.

Negotiations have included the GMB, Ucatt, the construction workers' union, and the T&GWU, who have outlined their concerns over ethical purchasing, minimum wages and a commitment to using the local workforce.

Top of the list of requirements before the massive £2.8 billion Olympic procurement process gets underway is the unions' desire to ensure that London's Olympic building sites are safer than in Athens, where at least 38 workers died. Unions are expected to insist that Olympic organisers adopt the stringent health and safety practices at Terminal 5 and Wembley – where there has been only one fatality on each site.

Agreements reached in Australia ahead of the 2000 Sydney Games are likely to be used as a template in London.

The Australian unions agreed to a non-strike deal on Olympic project and their French counterparts also pledged co-operation with Games organisers as Paris bid for the 2012 Games. British unions, unlikely to take such a stance, would go no further than signing up as part of an Olympic charter to "binding arbitration".


The announcement of the winning pitch to develop the Olympic Park around the Lower Lea Valley is expected to be announced "within weeks" by the Olympic Delivery Authority, the first major announcement in the 2012 procurement process.
