The building contractor of a key construction project in Shatian town in Dongguan city of Guangdong province vanished without trace, leaving three unfinished apartments and more than 100 unpaid workers, Nanfang Daily reported on Monday.
The workers, who gathered at the construction site, received nothing after the township government ordered the contractor of the Guangxi Metallurgy Construction Company on Aug 5 to clear 4 million yuan ($591,268) in arrears accumulated over a period of six months. It is the sixth time since July 8 that the township government has urged the contractor to fulfill his obligations.
