因雇主不协助返国,客工闹跳楼 人力部:经协调客工已于今日返国

针对网传榜鹅S11客工宿舍(也称PPT Lodge 1B),有客工闹跳楼事件,人力部今日(23日)中午作出回应,经调查获悉有关客工是自掏腰包买回乡机票,但是当得知雇主不愿协助他回国后,感到情绪激动。
上述客工所住的宿舍楼层,在本月4日已结束排查冠病。人力部称,客工若有意回国,可与雇主讨论,但相信双方没有讨论沟通,结果起争执。
当事件发生,前线保障支援小组(FAST)团队也立即介入,到场安抚有关客工情绪,并联系他的雇主以解决纠纷。至于雇主后来经过劝说,也同意协助其客工,在今日返国。
人力部则在文告中劝谕,客工若有劳资纠纷应避免让自己危害自身性命安全,鼓励客工拨打客工中心热线 6536 2692,或向人力部反馈。
