Over 50 casual workers of construction giant, Julius Berger, working at different flyover sites in Port Harcourt have protested against the poor salaries and other welfare paid them by the company.
The workers who assembled at the Waterlines Junction in Port Harcourt from where they downed tools and began their protest said that despite the huge payment the company received from the state government, it has continued to pay them peanuts while they were over-laboured.
Displaying placards bearing different inscriptions, the workers called on the state government to disengage the company for its refusal to address their mounting concerns.
A representative of the company declined to speak to newsmen on what the company was doing to address the issues raised by the casual workers.
