IWW report damns 2012 construction site state

IWW construction workers on the Olympic construction site have produced a damning report on the state of the worksite. The report argues for greater worker control of unions and a militant
rank-and-file approach.

Excerpt from the summary of the report:

This report documents and critically analyses the working conditions of construction workers on the Stratford City development site of the 2012 Olympic Games.

We base our findings entirely on the accounts of anonymous IWW and
non-IWW construction workers employed there. The report documents widespread mismanagement and a lack of resources devoted to ensuring that health and safety standards are maintained. Police intimidation of workers and harassment of union activists is also
documented.
