Workers at a construction site in East China were very angry. Their wages were not paid. They decided to teach their boss a lesson.

According to People's Daily Online, migrant workers in the Shangrao Economic Development Zone in Jiangxi Province used scaffolding to lock up their boss's car in order to get their wages, so they couldn't drive at all.

After the company had a money dispute with employees, they used 12 long scaffolding poles to clamp a boss's Skoda.

It is understood that the workers will receive their wages in arrears before the upcoming Lunar New Year so that they can go home and spend the festive season with their families. 

According to reports, the car belongs to one of the shareholders involved in the dispute. 

The employees were worried that he would escape, so they made sure that he could not escape by clamping the car with construction equipment.

In order to be 100% sure that he could not escape, they deflated the tires.  

Photos of the trapped 4x4 show that the pole is clamped tightly around the car, which looks sorry, so it cannot move.

One of the workers told a local reporter that his boss owed him 70,000 yuan (£7,443) in wages and he was still waiting.

In China, about 250 million migrant workers leave their villages to find higher-paying jobs in the city, often leaving their entire families for many years at a time. 

These Chinese migrant workers usually work as waiters and construction workers in Chinese cities, and it is difficult to receive wages on time. Enforcement of laws to protect groups is also relatively weak.

It is not clear whether the extreme clamping method of Shangrao Economic Development Zone employees is successful.
