LONDON, February 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Alstom is acutely aware of the pressures facing the UK employment market and understand the concerns many people have.

For the Staythorpe and Grain construction sites British workers will carry out two-thirds of the work from start to finish. The claim that we discriminate against British workers is simply not true.

Like the construction industry around the world, we use sub-contractors for most tasks. British companies win most bids in the UK, however some go to EU companies who will use their own workforce. Whether British or European, all workers are paid the same rates for the job. The claim that we undercut nationally agreed rates is simply not true.
