Why do migrant workers ask for wages at the construction site?

1. As far as the current social reality is concerned, many migrant workers go out to work through acquaintances and rely on the trust between acquaintances, so in most cases, migrant workers will not sign any written contracts.

2. Migrant workers don't punch in and have no work clothes. When paying wages, most of them are paid in cash.

3. The places where migrant workers work are generally projects contracted by private contractors, but private contractors have little funds and low risk-taking ability.

4. Migrant workers have low cultural level, weak legal awareness and prejudice against lawyers (this is due to the lawyer industry, which is indisputable), which leads to the problem of unpaid wages, but they are still unwilling to seek legal help.

5. I want to find the relevant department to handle it, but there is no way to complain.

To sum up, the above 1 and 2 points have caused the problem that it is difficult to obtain the evidence of migrant workers' rights protection through legal procedures; The third problem is that even if migrant workers go through legal procedures and win the case, it is still difficult to get full compensation; As for the fourth point, this directly leads many migrant workers to ask for wages in the wrong and extreme way, or they can't get hard-earned money or have more serious legal consequences; The fifth point is that all departments of the country follow the procedures, and migrant workers can't find the right complaint department or the evidence materials are incomplete, so naturally they can't handle it.

First, the labor contract is still incomplete, and wage arrears occur from time to time. At present, despite repeated requests from the central authorities, all localities are actively promoting it. A considerable number of migrant workers have signed labor contracts with enterprises, but the terms stipulated in these contracts have not been well implemented. Some enterprises still evade contracts and exploit legal loopholes.

This also makes many migrant workers in a state of de facto lack of security. The lack of overall rights and interests will be transmitted to all aspects of migrant workers' labor rights and interests.

Then there is the special capital turnover mode of migrant workers in the construction industry, which is not conducive to migrant workers to adopt a "monthly salary system." Generally speaking, the construction industry mostly adopts the project system, and subcontracting is very common, while migrant workers are at the end of the whole chain, which makes it difficult for migrant workers to claim their rights and interests and lack chips in the game. The wages of migrant workers are often included in the whole fund, and there is no specific distinction.

Moreover, as far as individual migrant workers are concerned, many people's willingness to advocate "monthly salary system" seems to be not strong, which is related to their long-term salary habit and wandering state in the city. Their consumption in the city is only to meet the basic needs of life and even survival, and the money they earn still needs to be taken home.
