c*****e 发帖数: 737 | 1 Protesting Chinese workers enforced a partial blackout inside the India
Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo on Wednesday, in a simmering dispute
over wages. “There is a commercial dispute between the Indian and Chinese
contractors,’’ said the India Pavilion director D.K. Nangia. He confirmed
that
the workers forced a 30-40 minute partial power cut in the pavilion that
affected the projector and a few shops on Wednesday. This was reportedly the
third such incident of angry workers switching off the lights in protest
since the India pavilion opened in April.
“Chinese expo officials were called in to resolve the dispute. The
contractor is now willing to come to the negotiating table,’’ said Nangia.
He added that the Indian contractor has paid nearly 100 per cent of the
wages.
India receives nearly 30,000 visitors to the pavilion daily — and over four
million since April. |
