The management continued with the work, instead of finding the cause of the cracks around the site that first appeared more than a month ago, local residents said.
Fu Meizhen, a resident of the area, said cracks 2-3-cm wide and 1-m long could be seen about a week ago exactly where the road caved in.
Survivors are not happy with the contractor's post-accident arrangements, either. Li Maomin, 44, was too angry to talk when China Daily approached him Wednesday. "They have just left us alone," the resident of Dazhou, Sichuan province, said.
The CRCC shifted the surviving workers to several nearby three- or four-story buildings, and gave them 200 yuan ($30) each. After that "they have not come back to us", Li said.
Subcontractor problems
Another problem the workers face is that they are not direct employees of the CRCC. Instead, they work for a subcontractor.
Li and Zhu said they had asked the "go-between" firm to sign a formal labor contract with them but were refused.
Zhang Guomin, who headed Li's work team, said: "Of course we want to protect our legal rights and interests, but my direct boss said the CRCC had refused to sign (labor contracts with us)."
Zhang's "direct boss", Fang Hongze, a resident of Qiandaohu, Zhejiang province, could not be reached for his comments because his cell phone had been switched off.
Local media reports have said the CRCC had subcontracted part of the work to smaller firms and non-incorporated construction teams, but failed to oversee them properly.
