THE Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has resolved the salary claims of 48 Bangladeshi workers from San's Marine Engineering Service, Han's Marine and K7 Engineering.

The workers' complaints of no work and no pay over a long period were unfounded, said MOM, after a two-month probe. The workers have been paid their full salaries.

The companies had work contracts with the shipyards. There were, however, periods during which some workers were either undergoing training to prepare them for skill tests or sent for re-training because their work standards did not meet those of the shipyards.
