下午1時26分，銅鑼灣興發街有裝修工人懷疑欠薪問題危站。6名工人下午前往位於興發街40至42號一棟正在搭建棚架裝修的大廈追討欠薪，其中一名工人爬至大廈天台邊緣坐下，而另外5人則於1樓棚架位置舉起寫上「無良建築」、「有汗出無糧出」白布。
消防隨即到場，並展開救生氣墊戒備，現場興發街來回線一度全線封閉。消防派員到天台進行遊說，據於天台姓林的工頭表示，涉事的維景花園棚架工程，過往一直準時出糧，但至去年10月至12月一直欠薪，工頭亦收不到工錢，未能支薪，據稱連同另外20名工人欠薪，涉款達百萬元。
擾攘大概1小時後消防將工人帶回安全位置，其後興發街道路解封。事件中勞資雙方未能達成共識，工人正商討繼續追討薪酬。
A group of construction workers staged a dangerous protest in Causeway Bay's Hing Fat Street on April 14th, suspecting that they had not been paid their wages. Six workers went to a building under renovation at 40-42 Hing Fat Street to demand their unpaid wages. One worker climbed to the edge of the building's rooftop, while the other five held up signs reading "Unscrupulous Construction" and "No salary despite sweating."
The Fire Services Department arrived at the scene and deployed safety cushions, causing Hing Fat Street to be temporarily closed. Firefighters went to the rooftop to persuade the workers to come down. The workers' foreman, surnamed Lam, said that the Venetian Garden scaffolding project had been paying wages on time, but had not paid the workers from October to December last year. It is reported that 20 other workers were also owed wages, totalling up to millions of Hong Kong dollars.
After about an hour of chaos, the firefighters brought the workers to safety, and the road was reopened. However, the dispute between the workers and their employer remains unresolved, and the workers are discussing their next steps to demand their unpaid wages. The incident highlights the ongoing issue of wage disputes in the construction industry in Hong Kong.
