In today's headlines@头条帮忙 Mr. Cui, a user, reported that he and eight other migrant workers were owed 400,000 yuan in wages by a labor service company in Suqian, Jiangsu Province for a whole year, and they have not yet arrived.
He has been employed by the labor company for 2 years, and his salary of 160,000 yuan has not been received so far
Mr. Cui, a user of Toutiao, is a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu. On the afternoon of January 5, Mr. Cui was helpless when he mentioned that he and eight migrant workers were owed wages.
According to Mr. Cui, in March 2021, he and several other migrant workers were employed by Suqian Ruiming Labor Service Co., Ltd. to do optical fiber and cable work in the "Mobile Optical Fiber Project North of the Sui River in Sihong County" contracted by the other party.
"The project ended in December 2022, during which Ruiming Company paid us part of our salary, and more than 400,000 yuan of wages were still unpaid. ”

Mr. Cui said that in mid-January 2023, Cai, the person in charge of Ruiming Company, gave them IOUs, admitting that they owed them wages and promising to settle them by mid-July 2023.
"Around July 16, 2023, we asked Cai for money many times, and Cai said that the superior contractor owed him money for the project, resulting in him having no money to pay our wages. ”
Mr. Cui said that his salary was basically not paid by Ruiming, so he was the person who was owed the most wages. On January 20, 2023, Cai, the person in charge of Ruiming Company, gave him an IOU, stating that he owed him nearly 160,000 yuan in wages and promised to settle it before July 16, 2023. The IOU bears Cai's signature, ID number, fingerprint, and phone number.

The Gale News reporter of Huashang Daily saw from the IOUs provided by the migrant workers that most of the IOUs that Cai gave to the migrant workers on January 19 and 20, 2023, and most of the promised payment dates were before July 16, 2023, and some were before May 30, 2023. The amount owed ranged from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.
Mr. Cui said that during this period, they reported the matter to the Labor Inspection Brigade of the Sihong County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, and the Labor Inspection Brigade successively issued the "Labor and Social Security Supervision Correction Instruction within a Time Limit", "Labor and Social Security Supervision Administrative Handling Decision" and "Labor and Social Security Supervision Administrative Punishment Decision" to Ruiming Company, but the problem was still not resolved. In desperation, they had no choice but to report to the media.
The person in charge of the company in arrears: The superior contractor has not paid off the project payment, so it owes the migrant workers wages
On the afternoon of 5 January, a reporter from Huashang Daily Gale News contacted Cai, the person in charge of Suqian Ruiming Labor Service Co., Ltd.
He claimed that the reason why he owed Mr. Cui and others wages was because the superior contractor owed him more than 600,000 yuan for the project. When the superior contractor settles the project payment, he will settle the salary for Mr. Cui and others.
In the afternoon of the same day, a reporter from Huashang Daily Gale News contacted Cai's superior contractor, who said that he would not accept an interview.
According to Mr. Cui, as far as he knows, in September 2023, Cai's superior contractor has paid more than 400,000 yuan in wages to Cai, but Cai did not pay them at that time, but misappropriated it for other purposes.
Mr. Cui said that the superior contractor did owe Cai more than 300,000 yuan for the project, but these were two different things, and Cai could not owe them wages because the superior contractor owed them money for the project.
Labor Inspectorate: Penalties have been imposed on companies that are in arrears of wages, and the next step will be to hand them over to the courts for enforcement
Has the Labor Inspection Brigade of the Sihong County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau received feedback from Mr. Cui and others, and what measures will be taken in the next step?
On the afternoon of January 5, the relevant person in charge of the Sihong County Labor Inspection Brigade told the Huashang Daily Gale News reporter that they had indeed received feedback from Mr. Cui and others, and had made administrative treatment and administrative punishment against Ruiming Company.
"At present, we have reported the refusal of the person in charge of Ruiming Company to pay labor remuneration to the local public security organ, and in the next step, we will also transfer the case to the court in accordance with the procedures to apply for compulsory enforcement. ”
A reporter from Huashang Daily Gale News confirmed from the WeChat public account "Ai Sihong" of Sihong County Rong Media Center that on December 13, 2023, "Ai Sihong" published the punishment announcement of Ruiming Company's illegal behavior by the Sihong County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau with the title of "Strong Execution!
