Chinese workers stage new protest in Singapore
Malaysia Star, 6 Dec 2012
SINGAPORE: Two crane operators staged a high-rise protest at a construction site in Singapore on Thursday, its second industrial incident involving mainland Chinese workers in less than two weeks.
The workers, reportedly demanding payment of back wages before their return to China, perched themselves on top of separate cranes before agreeing to come down after hours of negotiations with rescuers, an AFP photographer said.
The crane protest came 10 days after a work stoppage by Chinese bus drivers erupted at a transport firm - Singapore's first industrial strike since 1986. Full story
