“Migrant subcontractors protest outside Anson offices”
In a stark reminder of the importance of transparent communication, fair labour practices, and the need for HR leaders to address wage disputes promptly, a challenging situation involving a construction company and a group of subcontractors has emerged on Auckland’s North Shore.
Since January 15, subcontractors who arrived in New Zealand on skilled migrant visas have been camping out outside a North Shore office of Anson Construction, according to a story reported by Stuff.
They have posted a sign directed the company, claiming “Wages owed will not be paid.
“No answer when calling, no reply when sending emails demanding more than $100,000 in unpaid wages, prompting a unique protest outside the company's office.”
They claim they worked for the company but were not paid properly for two months, according to Stuff.
