400 workers contracted under the Korean Construction Company Sungwon have lodged an official complaint to the Bahraini Government demanding three months of unpaid wages. The workers from Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Vietnam were contracted for a 41 million dinar (approximately 109.7 million USD), 33-month long project to construct a fly-over causeway in Bahrain's eastern Isa Town District. The workers claim that they have not been paid since November and revealed that they have been sitting idle without work in their labor camp since the middle of January. Along with their unpaid wages, the workers demanded plane tickets to their home countries but indicated they would be happy to transfer to another company in Bahrain if given the option.
