There was a meeting today between MASCO site engineers and MASCO Project Manager ( AbdelAziz AlFarhan) and Customs'  Manger - Khaleel AlShamri (Abu Ahmed). It appears that the site supervisors/engineers did not get paid salary for past 6 months. They were promised to get paid one month salary today but did not get paid. Mr. Khaleel of CUSTOMS asked them to give MASCO a chance a week or two and he personnally will help by calling Riyadh to expedite processing the approval of the submitted payments for MASCO. It also appears that the site engineers were instructed not to gather in front of the office to prevent me from taking a picture. Khaleel of Customs after the meeting told me the engineers are back to work and no strike. Two site engineers told me that they are going back to work! I do not expect anything to be written in a daily report. I do not expect the contractor or the consultant to write anything about the matter. I just want AECOM in Riyadh to be aware of the issue.
