From Yun Wang via News.163.com:

昨日上午9时许,20余名工人在金江小区门口,讨要开发商拖欠2年的工钱,情绪激动的工人们将布标拉到北京路延长线,导致金江小区旁的北京路延长线交通中断20分钟,而开发商相关负责人并未露面。

一位姓王的工人称,他们被拖欠的工钱从千元到万元不等,其中有人被拖欠达2万元。“去年9月我们就闹过了,但当时他们只给了部分钱让我们先交孩子的学费和部分生活费,其余一直没给。”工人张先生也显得非常愤怒,“房子都盖好了,为什么还不给工钱?”

金江小区施工工地的大门口,几名情绪激动的工人冲入工地里要找负责人,记者也随之进去。但表明身份后,保安二话不说将记者轰出工地,紧锁大门。上午10时30分,工人们将白色布标拉到了北京路延长线上,10余辆公交车只能被堵停在路上,部分轿车则调头或借人行道通过。25分钟后,民警对工人进行了劝导。截至上午11时20分,金江小区的相关负责人仍未出面。
