How to Smooth the "Green Channel" of Legal Aid for Migrant Workers
Days
The Ministry of Justice issued a notice
Provide "one-time handling" legal aid services for migrant workers
The circular requires that legal aid institutions across the country provide migrant workers with "one-time handling" of legal aid services, including unblocking "green channels" for legal aid, and giving priority to the acceptance, review, and assignment of legal aid cases for migrant workers.
The notice requires that legal aid institutions across the country should focus on the needs of legal services such as online ride-hailing drivers, couriers, and takeaway delivery workers, and accurately serve workers in new forms of employment. Do a good job of legal aid work on matters such as requests for confirmation of labor relations or social insurance benefits for migrant workers in urban areas, exempt those who apply for payment of labor remuneration or compensation for personal injuries caused by work-related accidents from verification of their financial hardship, and provide legal aid in advance in emergency situations such as when the statute of limitations is about to expire.
The notice proposes to strengthen legal popularization and publicity, broaden service channels, and use public legal service entities, hotlines, and online platforms to provide a full range of legal services for migrant workers online and offline. Set up legal aid work stations or contact points in areas where migrant workers gather, to facilitate migrant workers' applications for legal aid nearby. Where there is capacity, the "12348" public legal service hotline may set up special telephone seats for migrant workers. Do a good job of the China Legal Service Network's "Green Channel for Migrant Workers to Seek Relief in Arrears of Wages", collecting clues on wage arrears, answering messages and consultations, and transferring legal aid cases.
