Why tradies are raking in $210,000 a year | News.com.au
SPECIAL payments for dirty, dusty, wet and smelly work are among dozens of workers' allowances on major building projects.
As building trade salaries soar to up to $210,000 a year, business is facing a cost blowout for construction projects in Victoria.
A Herald Sun examination of three key building projects reveals their workers get some of the world's best provisions.
They include extra money to work in dirty and dusty conditions, tens of thousands of dollars to live away from home and free work clothes.
But in many cases the staff toil for their money, working up to 56 hours in a six-day week.
The projects were the Eastern Treatment Plant upgrade, the desalination project near Wonthaggi and the new gas power station near Mortlake.
Two of the three are backed by the Victorian Government.
