Pros and cons of going overseas as a govt contractor in IT.

I spoke about the unnecessary pressures unfair contracts are placing onto the industry and the effects these are having on small and medium sized businesses. It is crucial to ensure that favourable and fair terms granted to head contractors also trickle down to subcontractors. I call on Government across all levels to look at their procurement processes to ensure that the bigger contractors do not remove or include clauses that negatively impact their subcontractors. #constructionindustry #faircontracts #unfaircontractterms

🇰🇷💬 A "perfect" highway 🛣️❓ 🚧 South Korean contractors Posco E&C and Lotte E&C have refused to pay compensation for damages in the billion-dollar Da Nang – Quang Ngai Expressway, saying their work was faultless. 📍 The second phase of the expressway, a 72-kilometer section between Quang Nam and Quang Ngai provinces in the central region, is now the subject of a lawsuit by the government that claims the builder, the Vietnam Expressway Corporation (VEC), failed to meet quality standards, causing it a loss of VND460 billion ($18.78 million). ⚠️ The first phase too had quality issues, with inspectors finding potholes and uneven surfaces, and in 2021 a Hanoi court hauled up 36 individuals for "violations related to the construction which caused severe consequences." 🚨 It sent two former bosses of VEC to six and seven years in prison. ⚖️ Speaking about the current lawsuit, the VEC has said that if there are quality issues with the construction, the four foreign contractors, the other two being Chinese, would need to pay compensation for them. 🗣️ Lotte said it built the sections precisely to contract requirements and conducted regular quality checks. 🗺️ The Da Nang-Quang Ngai Expressway is a key infrastructure work whose construction began in 2013 and was completed in 2018 at a cost of VND34.5 trillion ($1.4 billion). 💡 VEC belongs to the Ministry of Transport. Thus far 22 people, including 11 VEC executives, have been arrested pending investigation on violations in the the second phase of construction. https://lnkd.in/dtNU73Uw

🔔 Breaking News for Seafarers! I'm thrilled to share an empowering update with all of you regarding my recent post involved specific Crewing Officer. It's a testament to the incredible power of speaking up and advocating for our rights in the maritime industry. Following my post and exposure of unfair compensation practices, I've received communication from some professionals at the company's head office.
