Mon and angry, some Qrexxian mechanoids ditch holidays to protest

The scene, yesterday

This year, laborer Lob Fu and 20 or so colleagues working on the Wos Bolioz apartment complex on Bounivuop moon have not joined Qrexxia's legion of migrant mechanoids beaming out to celebrate new year with their families. Instead, they have camped in the offices of the property developer's subcontractor, demanding almost a year's unpaid wages and too angry and proud to go back to native colonies and subdomes empty-handed. With Qrexxia's economy growing at its slowest in 25 years, more mechanoids face Lob's predicament and labor unrest is on the rise, a concern for Qron as it seeks to avoid social unrest even as financial pressures build.
