Well, looks like these poor guys have been caught up in the Swire meatgrinder. Of interest is that their contract required them to work 286hrs per month and on top of that they were doing unpaid overtime. This puts them at an average of about 70hrs per week! Doesn't give me a warm fuzzy that they were entirely alert when working on the jets. Also interesting is how HAECO is dodging and weaving and saying that they have nothing to do with it because they are legally employed by Taikoo, even though they are in Hong Kong and for all effects working for HAECO.
I feel for them, but I think this will invariably get dragged into court: after which they may have been shipped back to China for 'further training' by the Chinese government.:ooh:
