Former high school worker hunting wages: behind campus bright activity, project debt query floats up the streets

On September 12th, workers gathered in front of the high school in Hanoi's Zhou Cui County for salaries. The social account "Li is not your teacher" published on-site material showed that many workers expressed a lack of pay claims in front of the school. Just two days ago, the school also held city-level Cop to campus activities; the school website continued to show campus construction, teaching activities and school results. The payroll scene and the school's daily public image formed a clear contrast, and also pushed a more realistic question to the school door: workers who participated in campus-related projects, why can't the salary be paid late?

Salary recruits stand at the school doorstep, pay-free disputes enter public sight

From the live video and pictures released on September 12th, workers have brought the rights campaign to the high school in Rakhine County. Relevant public material currently does not fully disclose the amount of due salary, the length of the delay, the construction unit and the general contractor, so this information still needs to be further clarified by the responsible entity.

For the worker, wages are not a figure on the calculation table of the project, but the remuneration that should be obtained according to law after labor has been paid.

Who is the school? on the website shows the new campus has invested 300 million dollars in construction

Higher Secondary School website.The school was founded in 1934, in 2007 it became a demonstration high school in Hanoi Province; in 2012 it invested 300 million yuan in the construction of a new campus. the official website also shows that the school currently occupies 260 acres, has several teaching buildings, experimental complex buildings, library complex buildings and other facilities.On September 10, the school just held the fourth "Young people and science and technology

• scientists to Copperfield campus" event in Zhuangu City.and .

The public information does not directly prove that this lack of pay is related to the construction of the new campus in 2012, nor does it determine that the school is the subject of the liability for the lack of pay. But workers are publicly applying for pay in front of the school doors, meaning that the related project, contracting and payment relationship needs to be fully explained.

Who owes the salary? at least four questions to be answered publicly

• Which construction or construction projects are specifically involved in the paying workers;
• who are the workers directly employed by the workers, subcontractors and general contractors respectively;
• the total amount of due salary, the number involved and the exact amount of delay;
• whether the school, the construction unit and the local humanitarian department have intervened.

On the one hand, speaking of "educating people", on the other hand, not allowing workers to pursue wages at the door

Educational institutions, of course, need these goals, but when workers concentrate around a public school, the ability to govern is also reflected in how to deal with the worker's most basic wage rights.

China’s archives believe that the case first needs to establish a clear chain of responsibility, and not leave the workers’ claims in social media videos. Whether the ultimate responsibility falls on the construction enterprises, subcontractors, construction units or other entities, the local people’s society departments should publish the results of the investigation and disposal as soon as possible. If there is a default in salary, the payment time should be clear; if there are delays in the construction level, the financial chain and the responsible entity should also be explained to the society.

For workers, wages shouldn’t be a process that needs to be blocked, highlighted or repeatedly exposed to be initiated.The right to defend the right before a high school in Rakhine County really needs to be answered, who used their labor, who should pay, and why they had to go to public places to ask for their wages.
