Jinjiang'S "Contingency Plan For Arrears Of Wages"

In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers, and promptly investigate and deal with cases of arrears of wages of workers, in January 8, 2008, Jinjiang, Fujian, officially launched the labor force, trade union, industry and commerce, public security, and court units to form Jinjiang's leading group office for handling labor disputes emergency cases, focusing on contingency plans for arrears of wages before the Spring Festival.

In the morning of January 17th, I interviewed the labor and Social Security Bureau and the Municipal Federation of trade unions in Jinjiang's labor dispute emergency office.

I went to the labor and social security office of Chen Dai, and saw dozens of migrant workers in Chen Tai Hang Hui shoe factory collectively complained to Wu Liyi, director of the factory. The owner of the factory did not pay the workers' wages in full on a monthly basis, and the company has been shutting down since December 28, 2007.

In the face of fact, the boss promised workers to pay wages in January 21st.

However, the wages owed have not yet been checked, and the employers and employees have agreed to check wages at Chen Dai labor security office on the afternoon of 17.

With the efforts of the labor emergency response office and other personnel, in the morning of January 21st, more than 40 workers were paid more than 140 thousand yuan in the factory, and more than 130 thousand yuan had been paid, and the remaining 6 workers were paid 15 thousand yuan for payment. The case is still being processed.

This is one of the cases where Jinjiang starts the emergency plan for arrears of wages and seeks wages for migrant workers.

In recent years, Jinjiang's economy has been developing vigorously. There are more than 7000 enterprises with various economic components and about 700000 migrant workers.

However, some small businesses, especially the "no business license" family workshops and small factories, do not regulate their work and infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of workers.

In recent years, the incidence rate of labor disputes has increased, and collective petitions and complaints continue, mainly involving malicious arrears of wages.
