LABOUR and Immigration department officials will meet on Monday to seek solutions to proliferating illegal contracts between Thai workers and joint-venture contractors for the $2.6 billion Kwai Chung viaduct project.
About 400 photocopies of the illegal contracts and four originals were submitted by the Thai workers through the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions to the Labour Department yesterday.
More will be submitted in the next few days.
Labour officials believed the illegal contracts between the workers and the joint-venture company, Campenon Bernard/Sogea/Franki, did not meet the Government's minimum wage requirement.
The contracts indicated pay of about one-third or half of what the Government stipulates.
Assistant Commissioner for Labour, Alfred Chan Wing-kit, confirmed the contracts were different from those filed with the Immigration Department by the same company.
