【新唐人2011年12月22日讯】年关将近，工薪阶级民众最怕的就是被拖欠工资，没钱过年。不过，大陆农民工讨薪事件不断上演，网名“讨薪寒”因为讨薪被殴打，愤而将自己的讨薪经过和感想在微博上发表，引起广大网民热烈的回应。他还被称为“网路讨薪第一人”。
每年春节前后总是会有不少企业因经营不善关厂、老板跑路的事件发生。
本名刘仲凡的“讨薪寒”，在微博上发表的这首“讨薪诗”写道：“民工苦，民工累；背井离乡把钱挣，……钱未要到鼻骨断；相关部门都求遍，推来推去谁人管……茶饭不思泪流干，民工讨薪实在难！”说出了大部分民工的心声，他的文章也被大量的转发。
刘仲凡原来是重庆垫江县“营中营装饰设计工程公司”的一名普通泥水工，今年3月开始被公司拖欠了一万多元的工资，他在讨薪时遭到公司总经理殴打。在他的女婿陈家静协助下，刘仲凡开始在微博上将讨薪的经过和感想发表出来。
大陆农民工为了讨薪被黑恶势力殴打受伤事件层出不穷。“深圳当代社会观察研究所”所长刘开明表示，如果当地政府没有设立欠薪保障机制，很多民工讨薪最后都是不了了之，尤其是工地拖欠工程款的部分讨薪就更加困难。而民工讨薪被打是因为大陆法治环境欠佳。
刘开明：“前段时间有些工人跑到政府的维稳中心，都被老板雇的人去追，去追打，那么这个就是整个法治环境非常不好，就整个社会，没有一个守法的环境，没有一个守法的这个秩序，所以才导致那么多雇工人可以不给工资的现象出现。”
维权律师唐吉田表示，企业发展必须同时能合法保障员工的权益，实现双赢。靠违法性的犯罪手段来达到一时的利润最大化，是在破坏劳动关系。
唐吉田：“更深一层来讲，他实际上也是破坏整个社会稳定，对社会这种正常秩序威胁是非常明显。从员工的角度来讲，当然是尽可能的通过法律，寻求社会帮助来维护自己的权益，作为经营者应该把眼光放的更远一点，不要牺牲员工的利益，甚至是极端的手法，为一时的这种所谓的好处而冒险。”
在法治国家不可能发生的企业主欠薪跑路现象，在中国几十年来却一再发生，工人工作无法获得保障。刘开明建议，工人不要一味的想靠政府来解决问题，而是应该自我组织起来，由独立工会来扮演维护工人利益的决策组织。

Experts Suggest theForming of Unions to Help Migrant Workers
With the year-end approaching, what the working-class fears
most is unpaid salary and hence no money for the New Year.
However, in China incidents of migrant workers
not getting paid happens frequently.
A netizen with the screen name of “Asking Coldly for Payment"
was beaten for asking for his salary.
He was furious and published his experience and his feelings
on a microblog, causing a wide response among netizens.
He is known as the “first person to ask for payment online."
Every year around the Chinese New Year, many incidents happen
such as businesses closing down and owners going missing.
Liu Zhongfan, with the screen name of
“Asking Coldly for Payment" published a poem on micro blog:
“Migrant workers suffer, migrant workers are tired;
They have to leave home to earn money…
A salary was not paid, but but instead a nose bone was broken;
Officials do not care and nobody helps…
The appetite is lost and the tears have gone dry.
It is so difficult for migrant workers to get paid!"
The poem expresses the feelings of most migrant workers.
His article was republished on many sites.
Liu Zhongfan was an ordinary plasterer at Yingzhongying
Decorative Design and Engineering Company in Dianjiang County, Chongqing City.
His salary of over 10,000 RMB has not been paid
since March, 2011.
He was beaten by the general manager of the company
when he asked for payment.
With the help of his son-in-law Chen Jiajing, Liu Zhongfan he
started to publish his story and express his feelings on a micro blog.
Incidents such as migrant workers being beaten when
asking for payment happen frequently in China.
Director of Institute of Contemporary Observation in Shenzhen
Liu Kaiming expressed the view that,
if the local government does not have a mechanism to ensure
payment of wages, workers’ effort to ask for payment will be in vain.
It is even more difficult for construction workers to ask for the
unpaid portion of the payment.
Migrant workers being beaten is a reflection
the poor legal environment in China.
Liu Kaming says: “A while ago some workers went to the
government’s stability maintenance centers,
but they were chased and beaten by those employed
by their bosses. The overall legal environment is very bad.
The whole of society lacks a law-abiding environment.
There is no legal order. Thus there are many incidents like this."
Human rights lawyer Tang Jitian expressed the view that
businesses should legally protect employees’ benefits
along with the development of businesses,
for a win-win situation.
To get the largest benefit by committing crimes damages
the relationship between businesses and employees.
Tang Jitian:"Looking from a deeper level, this actually
undermines the entire social stability.
It is obvious that it threatens the normal social order.
Of course employees try their best to maintain their interest
legally, by seeking help from society or
hoping business owners are looking ahead and not wanting
to sacrifice the interests of employees by getting the largest benefits in an extreme way."
In a country of rule by law, it is unlikely for incidents
such as business owners going missing to happen.
However, it has happened in China for years.
Workers are not protected.
Liu Kaiming suggested that workers should not blindly
rely on the government to solve their problems.
They should organize independent unions that can
take the responsibility to protect workers’ interests.
