DISPUTE INVOLVING REDUNDANT WORKERS SETTLED
Six workers were redundant as a result of termination of the
contract for service of Shing Kee Company by the Wimpy Asphalt Limited,
a sub-contractor of the Trans-Harbour Contractors Limited.
Two meetings were held in the Labour Department with prompt
attendance and co-operation from the parties concerned.
A settlement was reached on May 1 by which the workers received an
ex-gratia payment of $1,565 in addition to $2,886.20 in arrears of wages.
