The Suez Canal Authority is responding to online reports that the real star of the Ever Given’s salvage, the guy with the digger, has not been paid for his efforts.
We’ve seen this story in a few places now. But from what we can tell it was first reported by Business Insider that the 28-year-old operator of
the little excavator that could worked 21-hour days to free the stuck ship and, as of April 8, he had still not been paid his overtime!

The guy driving Suez Canal excavator said he had 3 hours of sleep a night and has been paid no overtime
