Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 403
Lu Changhua's idea is good.

Party A directly pays wages to migrant workers.

But the contractor doesn't do it!

There are two grounds for objection.

One is that migrant workers have an employment relationship with them.

The wages should be paid by them.

The second is that they have a contractual relationship with Party A, and your project funds should be allocated to them in accordance with the contract.

As for the issue of arrears of wages, they will repay them promptly to ensure that they will no longer be in arrears in the future.

But such a guarantee is not guaranteed.

They still have many excuses for not being paid.

If something like this happens again, then there will be no need for this "Changhe Plaza" to open.

The lawyer also came to persuade him, saying that if Mr. Lu did this, it would not be in compliance with the legal relationship.

Lu Changhua discussed with Squint again, what should we do about this matter?
After thinking for a moment with squinted eyes, he made an opinion.

"Mr. Lu, why don't we sign a supplementary agreement with this construction company? If they have wage arrears, as long as the evidence is conclusive, we will deduct their security deposit and use it to pay back wages."

When Lu Changhua heard this idea, he nodded.

"It makes sense, but I have to ask the lawyer if this is okay?"

After Wang Yao and the others heard this idea, they also thought it was reliable.

The legal advisor listened, nodded, and said, "Mr. Lu, this idea is okay. This is an agreement between both parties. As long as they agree, it will be fine."

Under pressure from Changhe Group, Hengjian Construction Company signed a wage deposit agreement.

In other words, Hengjian Construction Company hands over a sum of money to Party A, and Party A allocates funds according to the progress of the project. If the construction company encounters wage arrears, Changhe Group will use the deposit to pay their wages.

This can be regarded as an effective restriction.

This move of Changhe Group was quickly reported by the media.

Shen Yang and other Harbin city leaders all praised it.

Some media commentators wrote special articles to explore the feasibility of wage guarantee deposits in the construction market.

The building authorities also think this method is good.

With the support of city leaders, they convened a meeting with leaders of hundreds of construction companies in Harbin's construction market to discuss the feasibility of this approach.

It stands to reason that the industry requirements of the competent authorities do not require the consent of these participants.

Just like the referee's penalty standards do not need to be approved by the athletes.

The result can be imagined.

The theme of the meeting changed from discussing the feasibility of wage arrears deposits to a critical meeting.

The bosses of these construction companies all made wild claims, shouting that Changhe Group violated industry rules and forcibly oppressed Party B. This was abusing their industry leadership status, raising funds in disguise, etc.

All kinds of big hats were thrown at me.

This incident spread throughout Harbin at once.

More individual construction bosses have joined the crusade.

For a time, the voice of opposition was very loud.

Some people even mobilized the media to guide public opinion.

To say that wages are owed as a guarantee is to undermine the market economy.

This made Shen Yang and other supporters a little embarrassed.

Changhe Group, which is at the forefront of the storm, is feeling even more pressure.

Although the couple has returned to Beining, they are still under great pressure.

Of course, Shen Yang could not let these public opinions spread. He also used the media to raise a voice of support.

There has been a debate across the province over this wage guarantee deposit.

This incident attracted the attention of the central media.

They sent a team to conduct in-depth and detailed interviews all over the country.

First, ask the people working on the construction site for their thoughts and opinions.

Although migrant workers don't know much theory and don't have much education, they do know a little about making money by working.

"We do the hardest and most tiring work and earn the cleanest money. Why don't we get paid?!"

"If we don't come to work, who will build the high-rise buildings in the city?"

"You construction bosses drive the most luxurious cars, eat well and dress well, why don't you pay us wages?"

These sounds were played through the TV screen.

"How much are you owed?"

the reporter asked.

"I haven't given any money since last year. I only give some living expenses every month. Alas, my children don't have enough money to go to school!"

A farmer in his 40s had a sad look on his face.

The reporter said with a tragic face:

"For bosses who have been owed wages for a long time, what is the reason for their arrears of wages? Let's ask about the situation."

"Oh, it's hard for us too!"

A contractor said with a sad face.

"We are subcontracting the project. The employer didn't give us any money, and I didn't have any money to pay wages."

"Why doesn't your company allocate wages to them?"

The reporter asked the construction company.

"Sigh. Our company originally advanced funds to start construction. If Party A doesn't allocate funds, how can we have the money to pay wages?"

"Party A didn't pay, right?"

"Yes."

The reporter came to Party A again and asked about the status of project payment.

"We've already allocated it."

"Can we see the transfer history?"

"This is not acceptable. This is a business secret and cannot be made public." This was the reply from one of the companies.

Another company showed the reporter the payment voucher.

"Hey, Manager Wang, this amount doesn't seem right?"

"Oh, comrade reporter, our Party A has tried its best to ensure the allocation. Sometimes it is difficult to mobilize funds, so we can only allocate as much as we have."

When the reporter interviewed Harbin Changhe Group, Wu Xia called Wang Yao.

Wang Yao said: "There is nothing we can't say when all accounts are made public."

Wu Xia immediately felt confident.

She released her accounts and appropriation vouchers to reporters.

It proves that Changhe Group has paid the project funds in a timely manner according to the progress of the project and does not owe Party B a penny.

When they arrived at Hengjian Construction Company, they had to admit that they had received the project payment and that the company had taken over another construction site.Party A failed to pay in time, resulting in wage arrears here.

"Your company has signed a wage deposit agreement with Changhe Group. Do you have anything to say about this?"

"This incident is also a kind of supervision and supervision for us, so that we cannot act randomly and do things within our capabilities. This is also a guarantee for the stable and healthy development of the enterprise."

The company boss said this with an ugly face.

The reporter was surprised.

"Didn't you say that many people in your city are opposed to this wage guarantee deposit?"

"Well, that's the attitude of our business."

This guy also changes his face very quickly.

The reporter said: "Migrant workers are one of the main participants in the development and construction of my country's market economy. Whether they can obtain benefits is an important guarantee for the stability and improvement of economic development in various places.

Although the back wages deposit is not perfect yet, it is an attempt after all, a guarantee to protect the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers, and a means to supervise the legal operations of enterprises.

It is hoped that local governments and enterprises will pay attention to this and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of farmers. "

As soon as the Central Media program was aired, it caused a sensation.

Local governments have strictly ordered construction companies to repay wages within the time limit, otherwise they will be punished.

The Harbin City Building Department no longer holds meetings.

Directly issued the "Implementation Measures for the Wage Arrears Deposit System of Construction Enterprises in Harbin City".

All construction companies are required to pay a deposit to the construction authority and deposit it into a supervision account.

Enterprises operate legally and must hang a "certificate of payment of back wages deposit" when starting business, otherwise they are not allowed to start business activities.

Wu Xia received the notice and returned the deposit paid by Hengjian Construction Company to the group.

Hengjian was transferred into the construction supervision account.

All other construction companies also paid their deposits, and no one objected.

The money is in the hands of the competent authorities, not given to Party A, and they feel balanced.

While the whole country is busy over the issue of "wage arrears", the initiator of the incident, our Comrade Lu Changhua, is taking his wife and children in his No. [-] field, watching the combine harvester harvesting wheat.

Early this morning, Lu Changhua found Erhong and wanted to follow him to the fields to check on the wheat harvest.

"Old, old, boss, there are weird, weird, weird things in the ground. They are all ashes, ashes..."

Erhong speaks more fluently now.

Although still a bit stuttering, it is much better than before.

"It's okay, I'm just going to take a look."

After staying there until noon, Lu Changhua was also in disgrace.

He ate with everyone in the fields and rested for an hour before starting to work again.

The combine harvester harvests the wheat and no one has to worry about it.

As long as there is nothing wrong with the machine, it will continue to work.

When the grain bin on the harvester is full, the wheat is unloaded on the tractor.

The tractor pulled the bucket to the drying yard.

The wheat needs to be removed and dried in the drying field to remove moisture and keep it at about 12% moisture, and then it can be stored in the warehouse, waiting to be sold as grain or processed into flour.

In the afternoon, Lu Changhua was ready to go back, and Wang Yao came with a pair of children.

When she got out of the car, Wang Yao smiled when she saw her husband, whose hair was gray and his face was gray.

"Haha, haha, a big group boss like you is here to eat dust?!"

"Why are you here?"

"I'm in a good mood today. Come back and see me."

"Dad, Daddy."

As soon as Xiao Nuomi got off the car, she ran towards her father.

Followed by Xiao Shengyu.

"Dad, dad, I'm coming."

The little guy followed behind his sister and chased her hard.

"Hey, why are you two here? Where is Hu Le?"

"What, do you really think of Hu Le as your son?"

Wang Yao asked with a smile.

"Well, I just didn't see him all of a sudden. It's a bit strange."

"Dagui is back too and is playing with his son at home."

"How much have you collected? Is it almost finished?"

"It's almost done. We'll finish it in one day tomorrow. The rest is all about the drying yard."

The couple both looked at the harvester in the distance, and the smoke and dust rising behind their buttocks was like a black dragon.

"Grasshopper, grasshopper!"

The little glutinous rice chases the jumping grasshopper in the wheat stubble.

And Xiao Shengyu saw a few frogs.

He tiptoed over.
