Shoe Factory Workers To Wage A Storm In The 40 Metre Tower Terminal

Yesterday (June 9th) at 3:30 p.m., after a heavy rain, a migrant worker climbed to the top of the high voltage tower of Shifeng intersection in Guangzhou Baiyun District. After sitting for 3 hours, he went down the high voltage line tower himself.

It is understood that the move is to recover wages owed 3 months, the labor department and the police have been involved in this matter.

At the intersection of Qing Cha road and Shek Fung Road in Baiyun District, the traffic is slow, pedestrians stagnate, hundreds of people gathered at the intersection, looking up to the man at the top of the high voltage line tower located at the southwest corner of the intersection.

The cordon is surrounded by hundreds of square meters of area. The Yellow lifesaving gasket has been placed at the foot of the tower. A fire engine and ambulance in Shijing district are standing by the roadside.

Firefighters and police are strained to discuss life-saving programmes.

Mr. Zhang, who was filling the car at a nearby gas station, said that at 3:30 p.m., the man began to climb the high voltage tower. "It was very fast. When I turned the oil on the car, I saw that he was sitting on the top of the tower."

Before long, a heavy rainstorm caused the man to get caught in the rain, so he took off his coat and bare his upper body.

"Fortunately, there was no thunder or lightning at that time, or the man would be dead."

The boss, who opened the file near the tower, said.

The man who committed suicide said that the man named Yang Gao, 25 years old, and Guizhou people, like 40 workers, were workers of the new shoe factory on the 4 floor of the second industrial zone, Hongxing Zhugang road.

Liang Jianqiang, the boss, owed more than 40 workers in the factory three months to 120 thousand yuan, and disappeared around 7 o'clock in June 6th.

Among them, Yang Gao was owed more than 5000 yuan wages.

The worker representative of the factory, Miss Wang, said that since June 7th, they sent 5 workers representatives to the local labor department to reflect the situation.

In desperation, Yang Gao made such a move. "We didn't know that Xiao Yang wanted to commit suicide. He came to us after receiving the notification from the police. We did not approve of him doing so. Now we just hope he will come down safely."

At 5 o'clock, firefighters tried to approach the man several times, but failed to reach the goal.

At the same time, the power supply department did not close the switch, and faced with tens of thousands of volts of high-voltage electricity, the rescue work was slow.

At 6 o'clock, the power supply department closed the switch, and a fire engine with a longer ladder was used to reinforce the rescue. The rescue team arranged for men's workers to take the ladder to speak to men and do psychological work.

At 6:15, the man finally persuaded himself to go down the tower and was taken away by the police two minutes later.
