Fred Sherling (57) is Project Manager of Uropatruljen, an organisation established to prevent a shadow economy in the construction industry. Fred wants fair play in the building and construction industry, as well as on the building sites.
This autumn Sherling finished a long career within the police force to become Project Manager of the new patrol, and it is the values of justice and fair play that drives him.
Justice for exploited workers, and fair play in a market where those who run a serious business have had to watch while criminals and less serious companies have secured work by offering ´cash in hand´ projects while ignoring laws and values most others live by in a well-functioning society.
The organisations main goal is to uncover work related crime, and illegal construction. The initiative to establish the patrol came from The Craftsmen resource group in Næringsforeningen together with LO Rogaland.
