Carpenters help needed please
 
We've got some pals in the UK who are going throught the visa process. He's a chippie and I've offered to get some info for him.

So, any lovely chippies out there who could help me with the following:

1) what's the average hourly pay?

2) what hours are worked say, on a building site?

3) is it hell working in the heat in the summertime?

4) do you have to join a union?

Thanks chaps for any help you can give :beer:
