The issue of arrears of wages for migrant workers has always been a hot issue of social concern. These migrant workers work hard, sweat and effort, but they often do not get the compensation they deserve because of wage arrears. As a large-scale construction enterprise, China Construction Second Bureau should strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations to protect the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers.

However, this incident has exposed the loopholes and deficiencies in the management of the China Construction Second Bureau, which has seriously damaged the interests of migrant workers. We should conduct an in-depth analysis of this incident from both legal and moral levels.

From a legal point of view, the labor law of the mainland clearly stipulates that enterprises must pay workers wages on time and in full. Wage arrears not only violate laws and regulations, but also seriously infringe on the rights and interests of workers. China Construction Second Bureau was fined 2,000 yuan for arrears of wages, which was the result of punishment by the regulatory authorities in accordance with the law. However, fines are not the fundamental way to solve the problem, and it is more important to establish a long-term mechanism to ensure the timeliness and legitimacy of migrant workers' wage payments.

From a moral point of view, protecting the rights and interests of migrant workers is the embodiment of social fairness and justice. Peasant workers are an important force in the mainland's modernization drive, and they have made tremendous contributions to urban construction and economic development. Arrears of wages for migrant workers are not only a denial of the fruits of their labor, but also a violation of their human dignity. As an enterprise with a good social reputation, China Construction Second Bureau should assume social responsibility and respect the rights and interests of migrant workers and the fruits of their labor.

In view of this incident, we should take practical and effective measures to protect the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen supervision and control, improve laws and regulations, and increase the punishment for wage arrears. Second, enterprises should consciously fulfill their social responsibilities, establish a sound wage payment system, and ensure that migrant workers' wages are paid in full and in a timely manner. In addition, publicity and education should be strengthened to improve the legal awareness and ability of migrant workers to defend their rights. In this society governed by the rule of law, the law is a powerful weapon for safeguarding social fairness and justice.
