The financial implications of hosting the 2012 Games have also been a campaign focus for the London Citizens' alliance. Part of the promise from the Olympic Delivery Authority is that local East Londoners will benefit from skills and jobs as a result of hosting the Games. The London Citizens' alliance has asked for the ODA to guarantee a 'living wage' of a minimum of 7.05 per hour.
Although the ODA has agreed this in principle, in practice they say that they cannot over-ride national pay agreements between construction contractors and the unions. The London Citizens' group consider this to be back-tracking on the agreement, and letting down the people of London.
