Xinhua News Agency, Wuhan, February 6th Title: "Paid-seeking agent" who cares about migrant workers
Xinhua News Agency reporter Tian Zhongquan
Let the rural defense line for the "epidemic" and walk tens of thousands of steps every day to ensure that no 691 villagers are infected; handle labor disputes online, talk more than 500 calls, and send more than 300 text messages; accept 114 cases of wage arrears, recovering 7.5 million yuan of hard-earned money for 657 migrant workers...
This series of numbers is a microcosm of Xia Wangjun, deputy director of the Labor and Social Security Supervision Bureau of Yingcheng, Hubei Province, in 2020. He called himself a "mile worker's salary-seeking agent." People joked, "If you can't get your salary back, just look for Director Xia."
In the afternoon of winter, the thick fog dissipated. The office on the second floor of Yingcheng Labor and Social Security Supervision Bureau was laughing loudly.
"Thanks Director Xia! It's been two years since I finally got the 'hard-hearted money'." Yang Baofeng held Xia Wangjun's hand tightly and was very excited. "If Director Xia hadn't helped collect debts from the contractor many times, the 20,000 yuan would probably have been back."
The reporter happened to meet Yang Baofeng who came to get his salary when he was interviewing Xia Wangjun at the Labor and Social Security Supervision Bureau. This scene was relieved by Yang Baofeng; the mission of Xia Wangjun was fulfilled.
"I am a party member, I'm here!" At the early 2020, at the emergency meeting of the Labor and Social Security Supervision Bureau in the village epidemic prevention and control, Xia Wangjun stood up. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Wangjun entered Dongshi Village, Yingcheng. Xia Wangjun photographed by
Xia Wangjun is responsible for ensuring the epidemic prevention materials needs of 691 residents in Dongshi Village. He leads teams to test and register the physical health of 98 key returning people every day. Dongshi Village is composed of four natural bays, with scattered residents, mostly young and old. At the end of the day, Xia Wangjun walked tens of thousands of steps.
"I feel uncomfortable, come and help me." At the end of the phone, Xia Wangjun heard the demands of a returning villager. He then measured his body temperature several times, all of which were normal. He helped the villagers go to the hospital again, but after a check-up, there was no abnormality. It turned out that the villager was psychologically depressed because he returned to his hometown to be isolated at home and suspected that he had been infected with the new coronavirus.
"In the face of the epidemic, on the basis of doing a good job in prevention and control, we cannot ignore the mental health problems of villagers." Xia Wangjun said. He regularly provides psychological counseling for key returning people, and his emotional connection with villagers is becoming increasingly close.
Xia Wangjun was stationed in the village for two months, and none of the 691 residents in Dongshi Village were infected.
One day before the epidemic, an elderly man "breaks" into the reception hall on the first floor of the Labor and Social Security Supervision Bureau.
"It's been more than a year, and I haven't got a penny of my salary. Director Xia, you have to think of a way for us!" 68-year-old Tian Moumou spoke a little excitedly. Xia Wangjun learned that the complainant Tian Moumou and five other elderly people had low education and had a difficult life. They worked as small workers and had a few jobs for the contractor Zeng Moumou. After Zeng left an IOU of 69,694 yuan, the person "disappeared".
Unexpectedly, the money has not been received yet, and the epidemic has covered Hubei. While staying in the village to prevent and control the epidemic, Xia Wangjun found ways to resolve labor-management disputes.
Xia Wangjun repeatedly notified Zeng Moumou to be investigated by phone and text messages, urging him to pay his salary, but Zeng Moumou refused to cooperate. "This is a 'hiding' act, and it is suspected of refusing to pay labor remuneration." Xia Wangjun told reporters that after the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, he immediately transferred the case to the public security department for investigation.
Zeng Moumou learned of the seriousness of the matter and voluntarily surrendered and paid his salary in full.
"Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Xia Wangjun has been running around 24 hours a day. In order to resolve labor-management disputes, he made more than 500 phone calls and sent more than 300 text messages." Xia Wangjun's colleague told reporters that in addition to answering questions and answering questions for migrant workers, he also went to enterprises and construction sites after resuming work and production to publicize policies to benefit the people and enterprises, and solve their worries for enterprises.
Xia Wangjun said, "In special periods, some enterprises have defaulted on wages, and sometimes there are difficulties. At this time, conflicts must be resolved if both parties can accept them." Xia Wangjun photographed by
Xia Wangjun moved him with emotion, understood him with reason, and patiently resolved labor-management disputes. With his participation, in 2020, the Yingcheng Labor and Social Security Supervision Bureau accepted 114 cases of wage arrears, with a closing rate of 100%, and recovered 7.5 million yuan of wage arrears for 657 migrant workers.
"In recent years, national policies have been increasingly benefiting the people, and the wage guarantee of migrant workers has become stronger and stronger." Xia Wangjun said, "As an agent for migrant workers to seek wages, I must always keep the string of 'serving the people' and benefit every migrant worker."
