Union Ucatt has confirmed it has held talks with other unions about a potential merger to create a construction super union.

A spokesperson for Ucatt said: “A number of preliminary discussions are being arranged with several organisations.â€

Ucatt represents over 80,000 members across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Other unions representing construction workers include Unite and the GMB, although Ðǿմ«Ã½ has no information to suggest Ucatt has held talks with these unions.

In its latest set of financial results Ucatt said its total income for the 2014 calendar year was £6.9m, of which £5.4m derived from membership payments.

However, Ucatt’s total expenditure for the period was £9.2m, meaning it had a shortfall of £2.3m in its accounts.
