Why are migrant workers owed wages?

It is a long-standing and serious social problem for migrant workers to ask for wages. The main reasons are as follows:

First, there is a lack of effective supervision mechanism. Some local government supervision departments have failed to implement it, and even failed to deal with illegal enterprises, resulting in enterprises without constraints and constraints, leading to wage arrears.

Second, the economic development is unbalanced. At present, the economic development in eastern China is relatively fast, and the profitability of enterprises is relatively strong. However, in the central and western regions, the profitability of enterprises is relatively low, coupled with the poor management level of some enterprises, the industry cycle fluctuates greatly, and the problem of wage arrears is more common.

Third, the problems of migrant workers themselves. Some migrant workers lack legal awareness, do not know how to protect their rights independently, and will not solve wage disputes through legal means. In some industries where the mobility of migrant workers is relatively large, workers are unwilling to go to find money, and they are easily refused payment, which leads to the problem of wage arrears.

The implementation of "monthly salary system" is a piece-rate wage method, which is suitable for enterprises with relatively small scale, simple production mode and single type of work. In labor-intensive and mobile industries, this method is difficult to achieve. Because of the short production cycle, fast product renewal and complicated production links, it is not easy to implement piece-rate wages in such enterprises. In addition, due to the pressure of competition, enterprises tend to reduce manpower, increase the workload of workers and further increase the work intensity of workers. Therefore, it is not easy to realize the "monthly salary system".

Facing the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers, all parties need to cooperate. The government should strengthen supervision, strengthen policy guidance, urge all sectors of society to solve the problem of wage arrears as soon as possible, and safeguard the rights and interests of workers. At the same time, enterprises should improve their management level, enhance their risk awareness and take effective measures to prevent wage arrears. Migrant workers themselves also need to improve their legal awareness and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. Only when all parties actively cooperate can we solve the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers.
