New group of construction workers protest

Another group of Chinese migrant workers from the Parisian Hotel’s construction site marched their way to the Chinese Liaison Office yesterday afternoon, seeking official intervention after failing to reach an agreement with their contractor over staff welfare and compensation.
According to a statement released by the Labor Affairs Bureau, the mainland workmen who earlier staged a two-day demonstration have accepted the financial compensation in accordance with the laws following negotiation, without requesting additional payments.
Roughly 200 construction workers hired by the Great Harvest Group to work on the same construction site decided to follow suit after being denied the welfare they perceived as reasonable.
Still, according to the same statement, it said that “after an active follow-up explanation” to the enraged laborers who congregated at the authority department for numerous hours, the contracting firm pledged to pay compensation pursuant to the local labor laws.
Hot on the heels of the marches over the past few days, the government has set up an information kiosk at the construction site, offering immediate assistance to workers when needed.
