DOZENS of angry persons gathered outside the gates of Chinese company China Harbour Engineering Company this afternoon, seeking jobs through protest.
“We need work we need work,” said one woman standing in a group gathered at the gate of the premises, located along the Palisadoes strip in Kingston.
The workers, who are from several East Kingston communities, want a part of the US$65 million (approx J$5.5 billion) Palisadoes shoreline project, which is expected to get underway soon.
Government sealed the deal with China Harbour to effect repairs to the only access road to the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston.
The Palisadoes main road, which has in the past flooded after heavy rainfall, is to be rehabilitated and its shoreline protected under the project, which is funded by the Chinese government.
