The cold wind is cold, and the end of the year is approaching. A group of migrant workers stood at the gate of the construction site, their faces full of anxiety and helplessness. A year of hard work, just for that meager salary, so that I can go home for the New Year. However, the salary has not been paid for a long time. They chose to stop work, besiege them, and some even threatened to come to their homes to ask for wages. Are these seemingly extreme behaviors legitimate rights protection or excessive demands?
We might as well think deeply about this social issue. The term "malicious wage demand" is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of migrant workers, and can the deterrent effect it bring about really solve the problem? The inclusion of "malicious wage demand" in the criminal law may have a certain deterrent effect on those workers who have taken drastic behavior. But is this the fundamental solution to the problem?
"Malicious wage arrears" and "malicious wage demand" seem to be opposites, but in fact they are both products of social injustice. On the one hand, there is the helplessness and anger of being owed wages, and on the other hand, there is the evasion and prevarication of those who owe wages. In this game, migrant workers are often in a disadvantaged position. Their work stoppages, sieges, and even door-to-door wage demands are nothing more than a way to protect their legitimate rights and interests, and a protest against injustice.
However, these actions can also lead to the stagnation of the project and affect the social order. We have to think about why some people still choose "extreme" measures when the law is the only way to defend their rights? Is this a reflection of the cumbersome and inefficient legal means, or the distrust of migrant workers in legal ways?
So, is the criminalization of "malicious wage demand" really a solution? The criminalization of "malicious wage demand" may be able to curb some radical behaviors in the short term, but it is not a long-term solution. What we need to reflect on is how to fundamentally solve the problem of wage arrears, if we cannot fundamentally solve the problem of wage arrears, then the phenomenon of "malicious wage demand" will be difficult to eliminate.
How to protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers. Is it to strengthen the enforcement of labor laws, or to supervise employers more strictly, or to raise workers' awareness of the law so that they know how to legally defend their rights?
On this issue, the government, enterprises, workers and all sectors of society need to work together to form a benign interaction mechanism. The government needs to strengthen supervision and control over enterprises to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of workers are protected; enterprises need to assume their due social responsibilities and pay workers' salaries on time and in full; and workers also need to improve their legal awareness and learn to use legal weapons to protect their rights and interests.
In the face of this complex social issue, we need to think rationally. Formulate reasonable policies and laws to protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers, and urge employers to fulfill their due responsibilities. Only in this way can we achieve social harmony and stability, so that everyone can live a stable life.
In this cold winter, let us work together to light a warm lamp for those hard-working migrant workers. May we work together to create a more just and harmonious social environment, so that "malicious wage bargaining" will become a thing of the past, so that every worker can get the respect and reward he deserves.
In closing, I'd like to quote an internet buzzword: "Justice may be late, but it will never be absent." "Let's work together for justice and fight for unpaid wages. At the same time, I also hope that every reader can put forward their own views and suggestions on this issue. How do you think the problem of unpaid wages should be solved? Do you support the criminalization of "malicious wage demand"? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
We need to brainstorm the best solution to this problem. Let us work together to contribute to the fairness and justice of society. Because only when we work together can we truly achieve social harmony and stability, so that everyone can feel the light of fairness and justice.
