On the way back to the project, Liu Bufan received a call from Liang Bo, the executive project manager, who said on the phone: "Mr. Liu, where are you? ”

"Manager Liang, I'm on my way back to the project, what happened?" asked Liu Bufan.

"There was a group of migrant workers who surrounded the project department, and they said that it was New Year's Day and they wanted money to go home. Liang Bo said.

"How many of them are there, you didn't have a conflict with them, did you?" Liu Bufan worried.

"There are 11 of them, there has been no conflict for the time being, but the attitude of the workers is very tough, demanding that they must get the money today, they are all blocking the door of our office, our people are also there, I am reconciling, but it doesn't work very well, you should come back and deal with it." Liang Bo recounted.

"Okay, Manager Liang, you stabilize the workers for the time being, and I'll be back soon. Liu Bufan confessed.

Liu Bufan was also surprised, he didn't expect the workers to start asking for wages so quickly, and the general workers only asked for wages until the end of the year. He had seen workers bargaining for wages in other companies before, and if the workers got into trouble, it was really no joke, and serious casualties could happen. In order to ask for wages, migrant workers can use all kinds of means, such as blocking the door is only the most common one, and the more arrogant migrant workers directly use threats, such as beating people, smashing things, damaging items on the site, etc., which provokes them, and anything can be done, and some people even threaten the project department with death.

Therefore, Liu Bufan did not dare to slack off when he encountered this kind of thing, otherwise, he, the project manager, would be the first person responsible, and it would be time to test his on-site adaptability. Now there is a consensus in society that migrant workers are a vulnerable group, and they cannot be beaten, scolded, or owed wages, and that the media and the law are protecting them.

It turned out that there was a real case that Liu Bufan remembered vividly, that is, a small contract foreman took a group of migrant workers to his original company at the end of the year to ask for salary, and the company paid them a sum of money, although it was not fully paid, but it was enough for migrant workers to celebrate the New Year, because the company itself did not collect enough, so each family could only pay a part. But the group of migrant workers did not give up, and they had to pay all the money, but the company had no money to pay, and no matter how the company explained, it was useless to say good things. In the end, the group of migrant workers went outside and hired a few old ladies in their seventies and eighties, carrying a bed of bedding, sitting in their company's office, blocking the door during the day, and sleeping directly on the floor of their company at night.

Liu Bufan is not prejudiced against migrant workers, he himself is a child from the countryside, but in the past few years, he has experienced some projects and dealt with many migrant workers, and he has already deeply felt that the status and treatment of migrant workers have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Now, many migrant workers have a big temper, the foreman of the project department (the management personnel who manage the construction of the on-site labor team) can not direct them to work, if the foreman speaks a little harshly, they will talk back, and may scold, and the temper is a little more direct to do it, because the current shortage of migrant workers, they do not worry about the work, leave here, and immediately go to work in a new place.

Also, the price of migrant workers is really not cheap, take their own project as an example, a large worker (skilled worker) daily wage in 300-400 yuan, special types of work is up to 500-600 yuan per day, small workers (do miscellaneous work) also need 200-300 yuan per day, and their project to recruit recent graduates, the salary is only 3000-4000 yuan per month, converted, only 100-140 yuan per day, not as good as a small worker, their salary is about 15000 per month, which is about 500 yuan per day, only worth a special technical workerThe basic salary of other project managers is about 10,000, which is not as good as the price of a big worker.

Some people will definitely say that the accounts are not calculated like this, the migrant workers earn all the hard money, they are all fighting hard, in fact, like the members of the Liu Bufan project are basically college graduates, although there are differences in academic qualifications, but everyone graduated after more than ten years of hard work, how much hardship they have endured in reading, I believe many people have experienced. In addition, they endure no less hardships than migrant workers on the project, and the things they need to deal with every day are very complicated, although they are engaged in mental work, but the energy consumed is not a lot at all, or even more tiring.

Our country has also been advocating respect for knowledge, respect for talents, science and technology power, talent power, but the current situation is that the value of talent is really too low, maybe talent can not be measured by money, but even life can not be guaranteed, talent also needs to live. Maybe there are too many college students now, not as good as in the past, and the imbalance between supply and demand has led to this situation, but this is really not the trend of the development of a big country and a strong country in science and technology.

Liu Bufan hurried back to the project, at this time there were more than a dozen migrant workers around the project department, there was a big dispute inside, Liu Bufan squeezed through the crowd, entered the office, saw two migrant workers and the production manager and the foreman arguing, Liu Bufan stretched out his hand to stop them and said: "Everyone stop fighting, I am the project manager Liu Bufan, what do you have to tell me, I will try my best to help you solve it, okay?"

One of the bald fat men said: "You are the project manager, okay, let's tell you, this is about to be New Year's Day, our group of brothers are going back for the New Year, you settle our accounts." ”

"You're the leader, aren't you?" asked Liu Bufan.

"I am their representative. The fat man replied.

"What's your last name?"

"Leader, my name is Lu Renqiao. ”

"How much do we owe you?"

"There are 11 of us who have been doing it for more than a month, and the total is 109,120 yuan. ”

"Okay, Boss Lu, that's the case, don't be in a hurry about this matter, if the matter is confirmed clearly and the accounts are clear, I can guarantee that I will give you a satisfactory explanation, but see if you can get your people back first, don't gather around here, this will have a very bad impact and it is not convenient." Liu Bufan said calmly.

"Okay, you are the leader, I believe what you say, let's leave two people here to negotiate with you, and get the others back first. The fat man replied.

So, the fat man turned around and discussed a few words with another tall man beside him, and then said to the migrant workers behind him: "Brothers, this project leader said that he will definitely send everyone's money today, you go back and wait first, and we will negotiate with them here, okay?"

"Okay, listen to Brother Lu. ”

The migrant workers turned around one after another and left the project department, leaving only Lu Renjiao and the tall man behind.

Lu Renqi looked at Liu Bufan and said, "Leader, look, my words count, and I have already called my brothers back, do you think it's time to settle our accounts." ”

Liu Bufan said: "Boss Lu, you sit down first, I will definitely help you solve this matter, but you have to give me a little time to let me figure this matter out, okay?"

"Good"

Lu Renqi and the tall man found a chair and sat down.

Liu Bufan turned to the production manager (the person in charge of managing the on-site production and construction) Sun Bin and said: "Manager Sun, you verify the attendance of Boss Lu's group, and then calculate their labor costs with Mu Jun (business manager), see what the amount is, and print it out for me." ”

"Okay, Mr. Liu, I'll do it. Sun Bin replied.

Liu Bufan didn't leave, just stood there and waited.

"Leader, we won't lie to you, we are all people who come out to work, and we still understand this reason. The fat man spoke.

"Boss Lu, don't mind, it's not that I don't trust you, this is also the process of our work, I need to come up with evidence and report it to the company, and the company will send you the money, otherwise I can't help it, after all, I'm just a part-time worker, I'm not the boss, I hope you can understand." Liu Bufan explained.

"Okay, we'll wait. ”

"Boss Lu, where are you all from?" Liu Bufan took the initiative to chat with Lu Renyuan.

"We are all Dongjiang people. (I'm afraid that you will say that my region is black, so I will make up a place name, don't blame it)"

"Oh, then you are not far from here, this is more than a month before the Chinese New Year, why don't you work for a while and make more money, why are you in such a hurry to go home?" asked Liu Bufan.

"This is our custom there, we usually go home a month before the Chinese New Year and want to spend more time with our family. Lu Renqi replied.

In fact, Liu Bufan has also heard of the Dongjiang people, where people are lazy and playful, and gambling is prevalent, they must want to take the money home to play and gamble, saying that it is fake to accompany their families.

"That's good, you should spend more time with your family, so how did you come to work on our project?" asked Liu Bufan again.

"We were also introduced by someone to do things, and we came. ”

"Can you tell me, who introduced it?" asked Liu Bufan.

"Let's not talk about this!"

Liu Bufan saw that Lu Renfeng refused to say who introduced them, but he must find out this person, and he will definitely be able to find out, and he must be able to find out, and he must be held accountable to the end for introducing this kind of person who does not understand the rules to work on the project.

Soon, Sun Bin came over with a printed document and said, "Mr. Liu, we have verified their attendance records, and Mu Jun has also calculated their salaries, which is the amount they said." ”

"Okay, I got it. Liu Bufan glanced at it and said.

"Leader, I'll just say it, I didn't lie to you, you see if it's time to settle the bill for us. As soon as Lu Renjiao heard that the amount was correct, he stood up and said.

"Boss Lu, no problem, I'll report to the company leaders right away and apply for money for you, you just wait for me here, okay?"

"Okay"

Liu Bufan said to Sun Bin again: "Manager Sun, come to my office." ”

Sun Bin followed Liu Bufan to his office.
