NFDC rule change surely has a target in mind.
Following a meeting 0n 21 March, the National Federation of Demolition Contractors has announced a rule change. Henceforth, NFDC Officer positions from Regional Vice-Chairman up to President can only be held by persons who have been employed on a PAYE basis for a minimum of two years by the NFDC member company they wish to represent.
This means that no self-employed persons or sub-contractors linked to NFDC members can be voted into or hold an officer position within the NFDC.
On the face of it, this is an innocuous change; the closing of an administrative loophole, perhaps. But history suggests that the NFDC does not do innocuous. In all likelihood, this is NOT the Federation loosing off an aimless shotgun blast. This smacks of a stiletto aimed between the ribs of someone or multiple someones whose face – it has been decided – no longer fits.
Is it someone within that is wanted out; or is it someone that is already out by not out quite far enough? We don’t currently know.
But this feels less like the closing of a loophole, and more like the tightening of a noose.
