1月23日的消息，伦敦机场正在建设新机位的建筑工人开始了24小时的罢工，两个代表这些工人的工会要求提升工资，因为8000名建筑工人的大多数人未参与此罢工，机场发言人说罢工不会影响计划于2008年开放的5号停机位项目进展。

中国的劳动工资收入占GDP的总量，按照经济学家萧灼基的估计，上世纪80年代初是15%，到今天已经下降至12%（2005年7月7日新华网），占比下降幅度达30%。人越来越便宜了嘿，尽管在国内我们看不见罢工的报道，可是在一片和谐社会的歌舞生平中，我们不乏看到民工跳楼讨欠薪的热闹，靠工会更是没什么希望了，所以王斌余终于杀人了。

LONDON_Workers building a new terminal at London's Heathrow Airport went on strike Friday in a dispute over pay.
Hundreds of employees of the Laing O'Rourke contractor staged a 24-hour strike and will ban overtime this weekend before walking out again on Monday.
A Heathrow spokeswoman said the strike would have no impact on the Terminal 5 project, which is scheduled to open in 2008, since most of its 8,000 construction workers are not involved in the strike.
Two unions representing the strikers, GMB and the Transport and the General Workers Union, are seeking a raise.
