Fukushima workers sue

Four workers at Tokyo Electric Power Co’s wrecked Fukushima plant have filed a lawsuit against the utility alleging unpaid wages for work they did at the site, according to the plaintiffs’ attorney. The four, who worked for sub-contractors, allege their wages did not increase after Tepco, as Japan’s biggest utility is known, announced radiation risk supplements for labourers at the site, according to their lawyer Tsuguo Hirota. They are demanding about 63 million yen ($600,000) in compensation.
