China.com, February 26 The reporter learned from the Ministry of Justice on the 26th that since last year, the Ministry of Justice, together with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, has carried out the service action of "Salary Warm Migrant Workers" and "Spring Warm Migrant Workers", focusing on new forms of employment workers, and in-depth development of "Legal Aid Benefiting People's Livelihood and Helping Migrant Workers" activities, which have effectively safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers. According to statistics, in 2023, legal aid institutions across the country will organize and handle a total of 480,000 legal aid cases for migrant workers, and recover 6.8 billion yuan in labor compensation for 540,000 migrant workers.
Since last year, legal aid institutions in various localities have used 590,000 public legal service entity platforms, 70,000 legal aid workstations, and 330,000 legal aid contact points to provide legal aid to migrant workers in the nearest place, and a "half-hour service circle" has basically taken shape. In view of the flexible nature of work locations and hours for couriers and takeaways, 16 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) such as Jiangsu have set up legal aid workstations in places such as express delivery stations and takeaway companies, and 7 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) including Zhejiang have set up mobile workstations in markets, railway stations, and other places to facilitate migrant workers' application for legal aid.
In addition, the "12348" public legal service platform provides round-the-clock services for migrant workers, and the "12348" public legal service ** in Guangdong Province alone provided legal consulting services to 100,000 migrant workers last year. Beijing and 13 other provinces (municipalities) have set up special telephone desks for migrant workers, and dispatched professional lawyers to answer questions about migrant workers' recourse to labor compensation.
At present, more than 80 percent of the country's localities have implemented online legal aid services for migrant workers. The "Green Channel for Migrant Workers and Wage Arrears" on the China Legal Service Network helped migrant workers protect their rights and claim wages, involving more than 70,000 migrant workers and an amount of 1.3 billion yuan last year.
