BEIJING (AFP) – Millions of men working on construction sites in China’s cities often are not paid on time, not legally employed and suffer other forms of exploitation, according to a survey published Monday.
Some 53 percent of the 5,000 migrant construction workers polled by the China Academy of Social Sciences and Tsinghua University said they did not have a legally mandated labour contract, according to the state-run China Daily newspaper.
Even among those that had signed labour contracts, as all are supposed to by law, 41 percent said they were not given copies of the document and 17 percent said they did not understand its content.
According to the survey, labourers worked an average of 10 hours a day, 27 days a month, but only 31 percent of the workers said that they were regularly paid on time.
Note: By the way, this is ok…what is not ok is Japan hasn’t apologize for the actions in WW2.
