work banned
TONGA’S Sunday Observance laws, which ban work of any kind on Sundays, are to be enforced for a Chinese construction company working at Tonga’s international airport.
Chinese workers have been working on Sundays for some time but reports from Tonga say no one is prepared to say who gave them permission to do so.
Pro-democracy member of parlia ment, Akilisi Pohiva, brought the matter to public attention when he queried it in the legislative assembly there.
It is understood the palace office in Nuku’alofa has now issued instructions to the Chinese workers to stop working on
Sundays. □
