Chinanews, Beijing, December 14 – Beijing Municipal Administration of Labor and Social Security (BMALSS), Beijing Municipal Construction Committee, Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and Beijing Municipal Federation of Trade Unions jointly started an inspection on December 13 to fight against the wage-in-arrears problem of migrant workers.

 

In the last 11 months, BMALSS solved 6,873 wage-in-arrears cases for 55,482 migrant workers, recovering 104.73 million yuan of wages for them. Though only 1,820 cases were related to the building industry, they covered 71% of the victims and 83% of the amount of wages in arrears.

 

The joint inspection covers building, food and beverage, clothing and service industries, particularly the building industry.

 

BMALSS will first serve a warning on the enterprises that do not pay the migrant workers at the correct time, and severe punishment will be meted out if the enterprises do not issue the wages in the required period of time, and there will be a bad record incurred by these enterprises in the credit database, which is open to the general public.
