Gama workers - Exploitation must not be tolerated

THE saga of how Turkish contractor Gama has operated since it arrived in this country continued to confound yesterday with the uncovering of a massive workers’ fund controlled by the company.

By any standards, what Socialist Party leader Joe Higgins discovered in Amsterdam was extraordinary and, in the manner in which money belonging to the workers was kept secret, was inexplicable.

The company can claim that the money handled by Finance Bank Holland, amounting to between €20 million and €40m, was held in the name of the workers.
