The workers claim that although they have been daily-hires, the company had consistently deducted money from their salaries for social security even though they were never issued forms nor given social security numbers. Emmanuel Selekpoh, one of the aggrieved workers, said he was frustrated that the company had refused to pay back their money. One of the workers said the media coverage of the situation pressured the company to pay their delayed salaries. Some of the workers said they have been working as daily hires for West Construction Company for almost 10 years. However, he could not also explain or confirm if the company has given the workers social security number or form to fill in.
