Complaints filed against Ssangyong

ABOUT 180 workers from China are up in arms with a South Korean company for going back on its word over their pay.
They accuse construction company Ssangyong Engineering and Construction of trying to force them to accept a lower salary because it has found a new subcontractor whose workers are cheaper.
Ssangyong, on the other hand, has given a different picture of the dispute.
Its senior manager, Mr S. H. An, is accusing the workers of being 'very lazy'.

They are: work for Shanghai Construction, the new subcontractor, for $1,200 a month; be flown home with $1,000 in compensation, or find another job within two weeks.
