【新唐人2014年01月30日讯】中国新年前,大陆多地连续出现“讨薪潮”,江苏、广东、湖南、广西、江苏等地,连日爆发无钱回乡过年的农民工堵路讨薪事件。但无一例外的是,不仅当地政府不帮助欠薪的农民工,反而出动防暴警察和特警清场、抓人。请看下面报导。
江苏省常熟市海虞镇一服装厂老板跑路后,27号,近80名工人游行到海虞镇周行街道办公室,高举“孟建华还我血汗钱”的抗议横额,还同时高喊口号。但没有街道办官员与工人对话。
工人们就把街道办对面的道路堵塞,以抗议当局的不作为。但他们很快遭到了超过百名防暴警察的清场,期间还有农民工受伤。
江苏常熟市海虞镇居民韩先生:“防暴队里的人,打了那个厂里的小伙子。我朋友发的那个图片是躺在地上的,好像后来送医院里面去了。”
一名黄姓讨薪工人向《自由亚洲电台》表示,他们近80名工人,被拖欠了近150万元。
讨薪者黄先生:“家里有小孩,把我们的血汗钱给我们发放了吧,怎么回去过年啊。”
海虞镇当地的居民也认为,辛苦工作了一年的工人,应该拿到自己血汗钱,否则对他们太不公。
讨薪的黄先生说,海虞镇镇政府人员给的说法是,由于服装厂老板逃走,他们会把查封的厂房拍卖,然后按债权人的先后次序分配资产。但首先支付给那些被欠货款的供应商,最后才轮到欠薪工人。
黄先生表示,镇政府门外有大批防暴警在场戒备,地方媒体也拒绝给予帮助,他们都感到焦急和无助。
远在广东省东莞市长安镇的一间玩具厂的老板,也在上周突然跑路,500多名工人被拖欠三个月工资。工人们在26号到镇政府请愿失败后,27号堵塞107国道讨薪,结果遭当局出动防暴警察和特警镇压,多人被捕。
目击者说,上午十点左右,大批工人站在公路上,要求官员出面商谈,但一直没有官员回应。而警方到场后强行要工人离开。后来,有工人被警察打倒在地,还有工人被强行带走。
此外,24号,广西百色市平果县数百名北师大附属学校项目的建筑工人,堵路讨薪;16号,山西临汾尧都农民工同样堵路讨薪,结果都是被特警镇压﹔而湖北省十堰市数十名农民工讨薪,也遭同样待遇。
现在,有很多农民工在绝望中讨薪。
1月28号,在南京市城北一个建筑工地,一名女子讨薪不成要跳楼﹔26号,江西星子县一包工头爬上50米高的塔吊,以命要求社区工地老板付工程款。1月2号,郑州上百名农民工则打着白横幅下跪讨薪。
吉林包工头付中来:“我领了215人农民工在08年接一工程,这个工程就让执法部门倒卖了,欠下我们600多万。为了讨这笔钱,我一直进京上访,光上北京走就走了107趟。”
吉林包工头付中来表示,他们中间农民工已经死了5人,还有不少人得了病,春节前哭喊声一片。但因案件是吉林市人大主任腐败造成的,没人去管。
其实,在中国,因讨薪,也引发了很多悲惨的案件。
2012年底湖南省耒阳市一名男子讨薪失败,将欠薪老板一家三口灭门﹔同年广东省汕头市一工人因讨薪遭拒,为报复老板放火,致使14名年轻女工死亡,一人重伤。
中国“权利运动”组织负责人胡军认为,中国农民“讨薪难”的根源在于中共,因为很多工程项目是政府在欠薪,所以中共不仅不作为,反而镇压。
中国“权利运动”组织负责人胡军:“它的名字起的就是要求‘共’别人的财产,就是对别人进行掠夺,共产党嘛。它建立这个体制,它起这个名字,它目地就是要去掠夺和抢劫。”
胡军指出,中国人要想过上正常人的生活,避免被抢劫和奴役,就需要每个人对中共这个流氓说“不”,才能早日结束中共的独裁体制。

Return my Hard-Earned Money!
Migrant workers’ unpaid wage claim was frequently repressed.
There are continuous waves of unpaid wage claiming in Jiangsu,
Guangdong, Hunan, Guangxi, Jiangsu and other places in China
before the Chinese New Year.
Also many unpaid migrant workers have blocked the road
recently, to ask for their salary.
But without exception, the local government not only offered
no help, but dispatched riot police and special police to
clear and arrest them.
Let’s see the report.
Jan. 27, nearly 80 workers marched to the sub-district
office of Hai Yu township, shouting slogans and holding
protest banners reading, “Meng Jianhua return my hard-earned
money” after a local garment factory owner ran away.
However, no administrative officer communicated
with the workers.
Workers blocked the opposite street of the sub-district office
to protest the authorities’ inaction.
But they were soon cleared by hundreds of riot police, with
some sustaining injury.
Jiangsu province Haiyu Town residents Mr. Han: A member
of the riot police beat this person from that factory.
My friend sent me a picture showing the man lying on the
ground, who was hospitalized later.
A worker with last name Huang told New Tang Dynasty TV (NTD)
that they owed 80 workers nearly 1.5 million Yuan/$250,000 US.
The unpaid wage claimer Mr. Huang: We have kids at home.
How can I go back to celebrate New Year
without my hard-earned money?
Haiyu Town Local residents also believe that it is unfair for
one-year hard work workers without receiving
their hard-earned salary.
The unpaid wage claimer Mr. Huang said, Hai Yu town
government staff told them they auctioned off the seized
warehouse and distributed assets according to the order of
creditors after the garment factory owner ran away.
But they gave money back to those unpaid suppliers first,
followed then by the unpaid workers.
Mr Huang said they all felt anxious and helpless because there
were lots of armed government riot police outside and
local media also refused to help.
A toy factory owner suddenly ran away last week in Guangdong
Province Dongwuan City.
More than 500 unpaid workers are owed three months’ wages.
They filed a petition on the 26th January in front of the
local government and blocked state road 107 on Jan. 27 to ask
for the payment.
The authorities dispatched riot police and special police to
suppress and arrested some people.
Witnesses said a large number of workers stood on the road
to request communication with the officials at 10am,
but there was no response.
The police forced the workers to leave the scene, some workers
were knocked to the ground and others were forcibly removed.
Additionally, on Jan. 24 in Guangxi Pingguo County hundreds of
construction workers from Beijing Normal University Affiliated
School project blocked the road to ask for their salary;
On the 16th January, Shanxi Linfen Migrant workers blocked
the road asking for their salary and were suppressed by
special police; Hubei migrant workers got the same treatment
upon asking for their salary.
Now, there are a lot of migrant workers asked for salary in despair.
Jan. 28, a lady tried to jump off the building for
being unable to ask for her unpaid salary at the
Nanjing construction site.
Jan. 26, a labor contractor climbed a 50-meter-high tower
crane to request his unpaid salary in Jiangxi.
Jan 2, Zhengzhou, hundreds of migrant workers kneel with a
white banner to request their unpaid salary in Zhengzhou.
Jilin contractor Fu Zhonglai: I brought the 215 migrant
workers to the construction project in 2008; this project was
resold by law enforcement agencies at a profit and we were
owed more than 600 million Yuan/ $99 million US.
I have been to Beijing to petition 107 times.
Jilin contractor Fu Zhonglai said 5 migrant workers had died
and a lot of people contracted illness before the cries of
Chinese New Year.
But nobody cares about these cases because it was caused by
corruption in the People’s Congress in Jilin.
In fact, claiming unpaid salary has raised
many tragic cases in China.
At the end of 2012, a man killed three unpaid owner’s
family members because of being unable to get salary in Hunan.
The same year, a migrant worker retaliated against an unpaid
salary dispute by shooting, resulting in the deaths of 14 young
lady employees and one was seriously injured.
China ‘rights movement’ organizer Hu Jun believes that the
reason behind it being hard to claim unpaid salary is because
of the Chinese Communist Party, CCP.
The CCP government owed money to many construction projects,
but are in default, so the CCP not only act, but also repress.
China ‘rights movement’ organizer Hu Jun: Its name is to share
and loot others’ property.
It’s a communist party thing, it builds a system from
the name, the idea being to plunder and loot.
Hu Jun pointed out that the Chinese people have to say “no"
to the rogue CCP to end the CCP’s dictatorship early and live
a normal life avoiding robbery and enslavement.
