               Item 5.        Other Events

          On August 27, 1997,  MasTec,  Inc. announced that the Macri Group, one
     of the largest  commercial  groups in Argentina,  had agreed to be MasTec's
     new 50% partner in Sintelar, S.A., MasTec's Argentinean  telecommunications
     construction subsidiary.  Iecsa S.A., a subsidiary of SOCMA-Sociedad Macri,
     will   acquire   the  50%   interest   for   cash  and   Iecsa's   existing
     telecommunications  infrastructure  business,  which  will be  merged  into
     Sintelar.  The agreement  between  MasTec and the Macri Group also provides
     that the two  companies  will pursue  additional  opportunities  throughout
     South America.

          On  September  3,  1997,  MasTec,  Inc.  announced  that  its  Spanish
     subsidiary,  Sintel,  S.A., had petitioned the Spanish labor authorities to
     approve a restructuring of Sintel's work force. The proposed  restructuring
     would result in approximately  1,400 of Sintel's workers being removed from
     payroll  and  approximately  1,200  being  rehired at lower cost  either as
     independent   contractors  or  as  employees  of  other  Sintel   non-union
     affiliates.  The  petition  only  involves  union  workers  principally  in
     Sintel's  outside plant  division  servicing  Telefonica  de Espana,  which
     workers  currently  account for less than fifty percent of that  division's
     revenue.

          On  September 8, 1997,  MasTec,  Inc.  announced  that it had acquired
     AIDCO, Inc. a company engaged in the installation and maintenance of voice,
     date and video local-area networks. AIDCO operates primarily in the Western
     and  Midwestern  states  and is one of two  master  resellers  of  Sumitomo
     Electric  Lightwave  FutureFlex  air-blown  fiber  optic  cabling  systems,
     providing  technical  support and product  delivery  throughout  the United
     States, Canada, and Mexico.

          The Company has issued press releases announcing the foregoing events,
     copies of which are attached as exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated  herein by
     reference.

partner in Sintelar, S.A., MasTec's Argentinean telecommunications  construction

                      MASTEC FILES LABOR PETITION IN SPAIN

         MIAMI,  FLORIDA - MasTec,  Inc.  (NYSE:MTZ)  announced  today  that its
Spanish subsidiary,  Sintel,  S.A., has petitioned the Spanish labor authorities
to approve a restructuring  of Sintel's work force.  The proposed  restructuring
would  result in  approximately  1,400 of Sintel's  workers  being  removed from
payroll  and  approximately   1,200  being  rehired  at  lower  cost  either  as
independent  contractors or as employees of other Sintel  non-union  affiliates.
The petition only involves union workers  principally in Sintel's  outside plant
division  servicing  Telefonica de Espana,  which workers  currently account for
less than fifty percent of that division's revenue.

         The  proposed  restructuring  is modeled  after a  tentative  agreement
reached by Sintel and its labor unions in October 1996. The tentative  agreement
was not  implemented  because one of Sintel's  three  unions  failed to sign the
definitive  contract.  Sintel and its labor unions are currently operating under
the terms of a 1993  labor  agreement.  Since  acquiring  Sintel in April  1996,
MasTec  has  reduced  Sintel's  labor  force,   principally   through  voluntary
terminations,  by approximately  200 workers.  The Company expects a response to
the petition within the next 45 days.

         Jorge Mas, President and Chief Executive Officer,  said: "This petition
continues  our  efforts to enhance  shareholder  value by  improving  margins on
outside plant  services to  Telefonica.  The petition  does not affect  Sintel's
other  divisions or our strategy to diversify our customer base in Spain,  which
is being pursued by non-union affiliates."
