Construction workers demand unpaid wages

A group of construction workers on the Grand Lisboa Palace project in Cotai protested on the construction site yesterday, requesting unpaid wages from their construction companies according to local public broadcaster Chinese TDM radio. The workers sat on a 60-metre crane tower in protest. Representatives from the Labour Affairs Bureau (DSAL) and the construction companies arrived on the site to resolve the dispute with the workers, which remains unresolved as two of the construction workers were still sitting on the crane tower when this story went to press. A rescue air cushion was set up underneath the crane tower by the Fire Services Bureau in case the workers attempted to jump.
