Gama bow to pressure and resume food supplies to workers

MULTINATIONAL construction firm Gama yesterday caved in to Government and union pressure and promised to resume supplies of food to protesting employees.

The firm, embroiled in a series of protests over underpayments and alleged wage fraud, had told over 300 striking workers to leave their residences by next Friday.

In a move criticised by the Government and unions, Gama had also withdrawn food from the workers who were completely reliant on the firm for supplies. However, in a letter to the Taoiseach on Thursday, Gama said it would resume supplying food and refrain from evicting anyone.
