Unpaid wages 鈥榯rampling on labor laws鈥
Print Edition
DELAYING wages tramples on labor laws and workers’ rights, according to a commentary in yesterday’s People’s Daily.
The one thing that unifies China’s 260 million migrant workers is their annual wish to go home for Spring Festival with their hard-earned cash, and each year, many such wishes are dashed, it said.
After a year of hard work, some migrants, usually low-paid manual laborers, find themselves empty-handed, and have to begin a laborious and unwelcome pursuit of their wages.
In November, migrant workers threatened to jump from a building after failing to claim unpaid wages in east China’s Suzhou.
“Why are there always some employers who shamelessly squander money on themselves, but try every means possible to avoid paying their workers?” the paper said.
It said wage arrears showed disrespect to both workers and the law, and suggested written contracts and greatly enhanced supervision by local governments as solutions.
