Most labor disputes 鈥榠nvolve migrants鈥
Print Edition
MIGRANT workers and labor-intensive enterprises account for a major portion of labor disputes, according to Shanghai No.2 Intermediate People’s Court yesterday.
From 2015 to the first six months of this year, the court accepted 2,542 labor disputes, nearly half of which concerned factories in the suburban districts of Jiading, Qingpu and Baoshan.
More than half the cases concerned migrant workers, mostly from the provinces of Anhui, Hunan and Henan.
Often migrants from such places set off with relatives and fellow villagers to find work, making it easier for a dispute to escalate into a mass incident, the court said.
From January to August, the court successfully mediated 101 cases, which involved 93 privately owned enterprises.
Figures showed nearly 40 percent of cases concerned pay and other monetary rewards, the court said, adding that many companies were paying the price for slack work attendance management.
The court alerted companies to be careful of people setting out to extort, often using delaying tactics to not sign contracts and then falsely accusing employers of not offering contracts, the court said.
It added that as paperless offices gained popularity, it had become harder for courts to adjudicate cases because digital evidence could easily be manipulated.
