Fed up with inordinately long working hours, a man climbed on to the roof of a six-storeyed building here and threatened to jump off it. He was eventually coaxed to come down.
Sun went to the roof of a building in Puyuan Technology Park and he was spotted by a worker, who clicked photographs and posted them online, Shanghai Daily reported Thursday.
He threw down leaflets that said he had been working in the city for 18 days as a security guard for an online game company.
He said he worked for over 12 hours a day but hadn't received a day off from his employer.
Sun then decided to draw attention to the heavy workload and low wages of security guards.
The police negotiated with him for nearly two hours to coax him to come down.
