From what I've been told you'll need to gain Polish nationality.

Other than that have a look in the job subforum on here. I think there are a few threads on it.

id imagine theyd already have all the sparks lined up for it by now

Might be worth talking to T.Clarkes, I have heard they are the main players over there.

Good Luck

What happened to British jobs for British workers.

Too true Not good !!!

shortterm engineers were looking for sparks a few weeks agoon they olympic site, paying good money too, about 11ph!

Im sure, that there are enough people of all nationalities that would work for that though!

£11 ph thats not good money well below JIB rates

Closed shop job.

I got a start at the olympics site this week(atheletes village) for 13 pound a hour(9 hours a day)same rate at the weekends.I started wednesday and quit on friday.The worst job i have ever been on.The sites like a concentration camp,i had to go through 4 check points to get to where i was working.you have to hand your bags and tools over to be searched and xrayed,they even have sniffer dogs going all through your stuff.The company i worked for was Briggs and Forrester,and they treat you like dirt,no materials and they are on your back all day,start at 8 finish at 5 .Theres a lot of work starting there over the next few months and they will need hundreds of sparks.I got the job through the agency "options"(Telephone-01444473353).Tom

The olympics should be top job in uk,MPA allowance like T5,instead its as if it aint even happening,wembley over again ,all the poles on at the start and **** it right up,last year will be a flaping panic,cant be like wembley and run over.The olympic commitee deserve a disaster.

an outfit i know of are supplying some labour and are paying 18.50 per hour i have my c.v. in with them and spoke yesterday nd asked if they required more lads to which they replied yes as the job is running behind. as soon as i get any positive news i will supply all details. Not trying to be ****ful but im a quarter of the way to 6 figures in the red and getting desperate.

good luck Allan Im thinkin same about the ruddy comonwealth games Poles will move here after wasting olymics

If everybody on this forum mailed their local MP and aired their views something might get done.
If the foreigners were to be paid at the same rates set out by the unions ( JIB or Blue Book) then perhaps the firms might be more eager to employ British workers instead of unqualified, unregistered, cheap foreign labour
