The iron workers strike had finally come to an end... ...

The ironworkers had finally gotten their eight-hour work days. However, instead of a salary of HK$950 per day, they only won a salary of HK$860. Workers and employers are far from standing on a level playing field.
Here's a record of what happened:

P.S. It's only because of the strike that I had finally known how the steel reinforcements were put inside the concrete. It's an art, and lots of experiences, skills, and intelligences in it.
