Union UCATT has urged its members working for Dunne Group to remain on site after claims the contractor has entered into administration.

It is understood workers are worried they will not be paid due to rumours the company has collapsed.

UCATT said its members should contract their local regional office and arrangements will be made for a regional official to visit them "at the earliest opportunity".

The organisation added it will put pressure on the main contractor/client to ensure workers are paid for their work.

Steve Dillon, Regional Secretary of UCATT Scotland, said: "Contractors and clients approved and appointed Dunne Group to undertake work on their projects. They should have made financial checks to ensure the company was stable. It should not the workers who have to pick up the bill for the companies collapse."
