No Labour Day Break For Chinese Workers Of On New Stadium

Given that yesterday, May 1, was Labour Day, it appears no one told the Chinese workers working on the construction of the new stadium in the Parque La Sabana.

Some 200 of the 800 workers imported directly from China were at their jobs at the new Estadio Nacional yesterday, while the rest of the country was celebrating the traditional Labour Day, that included marches along the streets of downtown San Jose and a gala event at the Legislative Assembly, topped off by a report on the nation by Costa Rican president, Oscar Arias.

Although the majority of the workers do not speak Spanish, the few that did said that work on the stadium must continue, no matter of which holiday, including Labour Day.

One worker explained, that they are in the initial phase of construction and that the driving of the piles to support the structure cannot be detained.

In total, 800 workers from China are building the new stadium which is a donation by the government of China.
