Chapter 1099: Wage Arrears
Although he is already the number one at the department level, Bao Feiyang never likes to hug many people when he goes down to the grassroots level. Generally speaking, Bao Feiyang went to the Lingang Economic Development Zone to investigate, generally with the secretary Wu Chao and the special car driver Xiao Liu, and then according to the content to be inspected, one or two cadres in charge of relevant aspects were called in a targeted manner, adding up to five or six people, light and simple, and directly to the front line of the grassroots.
Bao Feiyang has been to the project site twice, conducted on-the-spot inspections on the construction of the project, and put forward some requirements for the organization and implementation of the project and on-site management, and also went deep into the construction workers to understand the situation.
It was only about a week before the last field trip, and Bao Feiyang once again came to the project site of the Dream Community. According to the habit, Bao Feiyang did not notify the officials below and the construction party of the dream community when he arrived at the scene, and after arriving at the site, Bao Feiyang also went directly to the construction site to inspect the situation and have a dialogue with the workers.
At that time, Bao Feiyang was talking to a construction manager named Zhang Yishan on the construction site, and he saw several workers next to him talking to each other, and his behavior was a little abnormal, but Bao Feiyang didn't care at the time. But he didn't expect that when he wanted to look elsewhere on the construction site, this middle-aged worker suddenly rushed in front of him.
Hey......
Bao Feiyang couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.
"Lao Wang, what are you going to do?" Zhang Yishan, the construction manager, couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw this, and shouted at the middle-aged worker: "How dare you stand in the way of Director Bao? Still out of the way? ”
"Manager Zhang, why are you so loud?" Bao Feiyang saw that the middle-aged worker named Lao Wang seemed to have something to say to himself, and waved his hand to stop Zhang Yishan, who was about to rush up to catch people, but with a warm smile on his face, he asked the middle-aged worker, "Master Wang." What is your full name? What does it do? ”
"Ahh So his heart went down, he turned his body back, rubbed his hands nervously, pulled the placket, bowed his head and bowed to Bao Feiyang: "Director Bao, hello, hello, my full name is Wang Qiang, I am a bricklayer, and I build walls." ”
Bao Feiyang stretched out his hand. took the initiative to grab Wang Qiang's rough palm, shook it vigorously, smiled, and said, "Hello Master Wang Qiang, do you have something to say?" ”
Wang Qiang obviously didn't expect that the dignified leader of the Lingang Economic Development Zone Management Committee would take the initiative to shake hands with him, and he couldn't help but feel more nervous for a while. Hesitantly, he whispered: "Bao, Director Bao, yes, that's the case." I remember, remember, you, you said last time that the engineering team can't owe us wages, and you also said that if there are debts in the past, they must also settle them, and they can't owe, yes, isn't that so? ”
At this time, workers rushed over to the scene one after another. Bao Feiyang's eyes swept roughly, and there were about thirty or forty people.
Bao Feiyang's face couldn't help but become stern, he swept the construction manager Zhang Yishan who was standing behind him, and then nodded at Wang Qiang very seriously and said, "Of course I remember that I said such a thing!" Master Wang, you construction workers work so hard. We have worked hard day and night for the early completion of the key housing project in the Lingang Economic Development Zone, so I think that no matter what the reason, the project builder should not owe you all wages. Master Wang, is there anyone who owes you wages? If someone owes you wages, you can sue me and I want to help you get your money back. ”
"Is that no matter who owes us wages, Director Bao, you can help us get the money back?" Seeing that there were more and more workers gathered around, coupled with Bao Feiyang's language encouragement and the support of the workers' eyes, Wang Qiang spoke obviously more fluently.
Hearing Wang Qiang's words, Bao Feiyang couldn't help but be a little surprised, could it be that Wang Qiang's so-called arrears of wages have nothing to do with this dream community housing project?
Thinking in his heart, Bao Feiyang nodded again, and said to Wang Qiang: "Master Wang, don't worry, if there is any problem, you just say it, the Development Zone Management Committee is your biggest backing." ”
Wang Qiang couldn't help but show joy on his face, turned around and exchanged glances with several workers behind him, and finally turned his head to Bao Feiyang and said: "Director Bao, that's the case, Haizhou Zhenxing Construction Company owes us wages, the longest has been owed to us for six or seven years, although the money is not much, but it owes more than 20 people in our village, which adds up to a lot." ”
Listening to what Wang Qiang said about the arrears of wages of Haizhou Zhenxing Construction Company, Zhang Yishan, the construction manager who was still worried about his heart just now, couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. But even so, he still frowned, and said to Wang Qiang dissatisfiedly: "Wang Qiang, what's the matter with you, you also told Director Bao about the arrears to the company six or seven years ago?" That Haizhou Zhenxing Construction Company is long gone, and it has nothing to do with our current engineering projects, you don't work hard, what are you doing around Director Bao now? ”
As he spoke, more than a dozen workers gathered outside, and when he heard Zhang Yishan say this, a bold worker immediately retorted: "What's wrong with six or seven years, you can owe money in six or seven years and not pay it back!" Isn't there no way for us to complain to Director Bao? ”
"That's right!" Another worker also said: "Haizhou Zhenxing Construction Company is gone, but Wang Zhenxing is still there, he is in Yicheng, last time we heard in Yicheng that he is now engaged in building materials business, and the business is doing well." ”
Their group of workers have been planning for this matter for a long time, and there is no reason for them to withdraw their troops as soon as they are frightened by Zhang Yishan's few cruel words.
At this time, there were already a lot of workers gathered around, and there were about forty or fifty people in the core area, of which twenty or thirty people were particularly excited, and some workers were standing far away on the periphery, obviously watching the excitement.
At this time, Li Jianggong, the person in charge of the construction party Haizhou Dagang Construction Co., Ltd., also rushed over when he heard the news, and he greeted Bao Feiyang anxiously: "Director Bao, I'm really sorry, I just knew that you were coming, please criticize me fiercely!" ”
Then he turned to Wang Qiang and the others and said, "What are you doing?" Rebellion? Why don't you hurry up and get to work? Do you really want to be fired from the company? ”
"No, even if we are fired, we have to help Director Bao solve the problem for us!" Wang Qiang and the others all looked at Bao Feiyang stubbornly, their eyes eager. Counting up, each of them has been owed wages by Haizhou Zhenxing Company for more than two years, which is not a small amount. If Bao Feiyang can help them recover the money, it will be worth it even if they are fired from the current company.
"You!" Li Jianggong was so angry that his face was black and blue, he pointed at Wang Qiang with his finger, and wanted the security guards on the construction site to come and drag these leaders away.
"Manager Li, since things are already like this, let them tell them what's going on." Bao Feiyang stretched out his hand to stop Li Jianggong.
"Director Bao," Wang Qiang bowed to Bao Feiyang again, and said apologetically: "Director Bao, we also know that this matter has nothing to do with you, you have only been in Haizhou for a year, and this has happened for six or seven years." But we have no choice, Wang Zhenxing owes us more than 3,000 yuan, the most is tens of thousands, more than 20 people in our village, Wang Zhenxing owes us a total of more than 100,000 yuan. On our construction site, there are more than 50 people's wages still owed by Haizhou Zhenxing Construction Company, and I also know that Wang Zhenxing owed more than so many people back then, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of people from the construction company. ”
"It's not that we are shameless and deliberately embarrassed your Director Bao, but we have thought of everything, we have been to the city, Yicheng, and even the province, but we can't get the money." Wang Qiang wiped a handful of tears, choked up, and continued: "We countrymen, we usually don't have any income, we just come out to work to earn some money to supplement the family, who knows that after a year of work, we can't get the money in the end." Some people are waiting to get money for their children to go to school, some are waiting to save money to marry a daughter-in-law, and some have to pay off their debts, because they can't get money, everyone has been affected a lot. ”
"That's right, there isn't much money in the first place, it's only enough for the family's daily expenses, and it's not enough when you get sick and have something at home. Originally, I could still subsidize my family a little bit by working part-time, but I didn't get the money, and I couldn't live my life. ”
"Yes, I couldn't get the money in the first two years, and I didn't have much work, and the old ladies in the family didn't dare to go to the hospital when they were sick."
The more than 50 construction workers gathered here felt the same way, and couldn't help but echo it.
In the 90s, the wages of migrant workers were not as high as in later generations, but in the countryside, the income from part-time work was still very important to the family economy, because the income from farming was even more minimal.
What's more, the demand for migrant workers is not as great as in later generations, which means that the opportunity to work is not always available. It is likely that one year I worked with a contractor foreman, but the next year I didn't, so the income of migrant workers is not stable.
This situation has also caused the arrears of migrant workers' wages to be very common, and migrant workers usually do not pay their wages at ordinary times, and then pay them at the end of the year, and some do not pay them at the end of the year, so they drag it on. Migrant workers are afraid of losing their jobs and dare not tear their faces with the contractor, so wage arrears have become common.
The Lingang Economic Development Zone has strict requirements on this point, and once there is a wage arrears, it will directly deprive the relevant enterprises and individuals of their business qualifications, and then kick out the engineering construction field of the Lingang Economic Development Zone, so the current situation has been fine.
In fact, the question raised by Wang Qiang and others has nothing to do with the projects under construction in the Lingang Economic Development Zone, as well as the construction party and the construction party, which is an old case. (To be continued......)
