According to the "Workers" on December 2, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions recently issued the "Notice on Carrying out the Winter Special Action on Wage Arrears", deciding to carry out the ** Winter Special Action on Wage Arrears in the national trade union system from now until the Spring Festival in 2024.

Wage remuneration is the basic life of migrant workers, and it is the most direct and realistic interest issue that they are most concerned about, which is related to fairness, justice and social harmony and stability. In recent years, China has taken practical actions to continue to promote the management of the problem of migrant workers' wage arrears. From the inclusion of the crime of "refusal to pay labor remuneration" into the criminal law, to the formulation and implementation of the "Regulations on Guaranteeing the Payment of Migrant Workers' Wages", to the inclusion of employers in arrears of migrant workers' wages in the "blacklist" of dishonesty, and the repeated special actions of the first winter in arrears of wages, it shows China's determination to resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers.

It is the unshirkable responsibility of trade union organizations to promote the management of the problem of wage arrears, and it is a test of the responsibility and responsibility of the "mother's family". Since the launch of this year's special winter special action on wage arrears, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions has held many special meetings to study and deploy, set up a special work class, and recently issued a special notice. Trade unions at all levels should further enhance their sense of responsibility and urgency, fully understand the special importance of doing a good job in arrears of wages before the Spring Festival, conscientiously perform the basic duties of rights protection services, and take effective and effective measures to effectively promote the resolution of the problem of arrears of wages and safeguard the rights and interests of migrant workers in labor remuneration.

Trade unions at all levels should be the first to investigate, focus on key areas, key industries, key enterprises and key projects, in-depth investigation of engineering construction fields and labor-intensive processing and manufacturing enterprises that employ more migrant workers, timely discover and resolve hidden dangers of wage arrears, and achieve early warning and accurate investigation. It is necessary to give full play to the role of the 12351 trade union in serving employees, unblock the channels for expressing employees' demands, and improve the timeliness, convenience and accuracy of services. For clues on wage arrears, it is necessary to establish a special ledger to take the initiative to report and track progress, so as to promote the early detection, early reporting, and early resolution of labor violations such as wage arrears.

The clue of unpaid wages must not be "turned around". Trade unions at all levels must keep an eye on the problem of wage arrears to the end, "fight on the wall chart" against the problem of wage arrears that have been verified, keep a close eye on the clues of wage arrears and the enterprises in arrears of wages, specify special personnel, deal with them in a timely manner, and be responsible for them to the end, and strive to ensure that each piece has a fall, a response, and a result. In particular, it is necessary to implement the weekly reporting system for clues on wage arrears, realize the work convergence and dynamic management of trade unions at the provincial, municipal, and county levels, establish and improve the mechanism for resolving and disposing of wage arrears, promote the coordination and linkage mechanism of "trade unions + courts + procuratorates + human resources and social security + justice", and combine the "respect the law and abide by the law, work together to build dreams" to serve migrant workers in the public interest legal service action, strengthen publicity and education on the rule of law, and promote the resolution of wage arrears in accordance with the law, efficiently, and appropriately.

Trade unions at all levels should combine the warmth activities, increase the extent of trade union legal aid services, carry out activities to return home safely, and promptly provide legal aid and livelihood assistance to migrant workers who have difficulties in life due to wage arrears, and strive to provide all the assistance they should and help them as much as they should.

Ensuring that migrant workers who work hard can get their due remuneration in full and in a timely manner reflects the concern for people's livelihood, cares for the dignity of labor, and measures the effectiveness of trade unions in performing their basic duties. Trade unions at all levels should put the promotion of the work of tackling migrant workers' wage arrears on the important agenda with a sense of responsibility and a sense of urgency to seize the day, and take it as a systematic project to consolidate the responsibilities of all parties, grasp the implementation at all levels, and jointly take responsibility to form a joint force, so as to contribute to the defense of fairness and justice and the promotion of harmonious and stable labor relations.
