On April 23, the reporter learned in the desert photovoltaic base in the north of Midong District that the Midong District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau and other departments have set up migrant workers' rights protection complaint stations and mobile arbitration tribunals to understand the demands of migrant workers on the spot, increase the handling of wage arrears cases, and urge the general contractor to strictly implement the five systems for the payment of migrant workers' wages, standardize the signing of labor contracts, help enterprises prevent the source of labor disputes, and effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers.
At present, the construction of various projects of the desert photovoltaic base in the northern part of Midong District is in full swing, and more than 20,000 workers are fighting on the front line of construction.
"Thanks to the Midong District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau for solving the problem for us. Recalling last year's salary bargaining experience, Li Jianjun, a worker from Liaoning, said.
In June 2023, Li Jianjun and several fellow villagers came to work in the desert photovoltaic base in the northern part of Midong District, "Towards the end of the year, there were one or two times when I didn't get paid in time, and I was a little anxious at that time." Li Jianjun said.
At a loss, under the reminder of his co-workers, Li Jianjun contacted Zhao Chun, deputy captain of the Labor and Social Security Supervision Brigade of the Midong District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau. After listening carefully to the appeals, Zhao Chun calmed their emotions and immediately activated the investigation and coordination mechanism, and found out the specific situation on the same day.
"We quickly contacted the employer and the general contractor and ordered them to verify the attendance of Li Jianjun and others. And the next day, through the special account for migrant workers' wages, all wages were paid to Li Jianjun and others. Zhao Chun said.
"The problem was solved quickly and well, so we stayed and worked until now, hoping to see the project completed and accepted on schedule. Li Jianjun said with a smile.
The Migrant Workers' Rights Protection and Complaint Station focuses on the implementation of the labor dispute investigation, mediation and supervision system, and effectively plays the role of service, guidance and supervision through long-term service, regular service, roving service, appointment service, etc., and does a good job in protecting the labor rights and interests of migrant workers such as the payment of wages in accordance with the law, so as to create a "one-stop" service mediation station.
"In order to improve the convenience and timeliness of rights protection services, mobile arbitration tribunals will be held at migrant workers' rights protection complaint stations and construction sites to provide mediation and arbitration services as soon as possible. Sun Genzhong, vice president of the Labor Arbitration Court of the Midong District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, said.
In addition to the normalized coordination and handling of conflicts and disputes related to the payment of migrant workers' wages, the Midong District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau also posted a notice board on rights protection information at the construction site, including the competent departments of industry engineering construction, labor security supervision and complaints, labor dispute mediation and arbitration applications and other channels for the relief of migrant workers' rights and interests, and safeguarding the rights of migrant workers to know, supervise and express themselves in accordance with the law.
Next, the Midong District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau will tighten and consolidate the main responsibility for the eradication of wage arrears and the regulatory responsibility of industry departments, take the initiative to understand the demands of migrant workers in the front line, and do a good job in protecting the labor rights and interests of migrant workers such as wage payment in accordance with the law, so as to provide solid employment guarantee for the projects of the desert photovoltaic base in the northern part of Midong District.
