That night, Liu Qingyu kept thinking about this issue in the office until 2 o'clock in the morning, and then dragged his exhausted body back home to sleep.
The next morning, Liu Qingyu appeared in the office on time and immediately told his secretary Jiang Shen: "Jiang Shen, please notify me immediately and ask all standing committee members to go to the Municipal Standing Committee at 10 o'clock this morning to hold an expanded meeting of the Standing Committee.
The meeting also notified the Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, the Construction Bureau, the National Development and Reform Commission, etc., as well as the first and second leaders of the departments concerned about the arrears of wages of migrant workers, and asked them to attend this meeting. There is only one topic for today's meeting, which is to study how to solve the root cause of the arrears of wages of migrant workers.
The issue of arrears.”
Hearing that Liu Qingyu actually raised this issue, Jiang Shen couldn't help but look a little ugly. He hesitated and said: "Secretary Liu, this issue seems to be something that the city government should take the initiative to do. Is it up to you to raise this issue?
Isn't it a bit inappropriate? I guess Mayor Ji will be unhappy by then."
Liu Qingyu shook his head directly and said: "I have nothing to do with whether he is happy or not, but whether he does his job well or not has a direct relationship with me. Besides, I am the top leader in Tiandu City. Although I am mainly responsible for personnel and party affairs,
But I still have a say in major matters related to the national economy and people's livelihood. If he is really unhappy about this, then let him be unhappy. If he takes care of this issue, I will not care about it at all.
of."
Jiang Shen nodded when he heard this, didn't say any more, and immediately went out to inform.
Ji Jiantao was the first to receive the notice from Jiang Shen. After hanging up the phone, Ji Jiantao's face darkened immediately. He stood pacing back and forth in the office, muttering to himself as he walked: "Liu Qingyu
What is his real purpose in proposing to solve this problem at this time? Is it really just to solve the problem of wages of migrant workers? He also said that it needs to be solved fundamentally, which is simply impossible. Could it be Liu
Qingyu wants to take the opportunity to reach out to the work scope of our municipal government, right? After all, the problem of migrant workers being in arrears has always been the responsibility of our municipal government. Liu Qingyu is taking the lead in organizing to solve this matter.
I'm afraid I don't have a good heart."
Thinking of this, Ji Jiantao lit a cigarette and thought carefully for a long time. The more he thought about it, the greater the possibility. He sneered a few times and said disdainfully: "Liu Qingyu, Liu Qingyu, if you really want to
If you want to use this matter to interfere with the work of our city government, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, and I will never let you succeed."
Ji Jiantao is a suspicious person. He has a strong desire for power and especially a strong sense of territoriality. The most intolerable thing is for others to put their hands within the scope of his power.
Subsequently, Ji Jiantao took out his mobile phone and started making calls to make pre-meeting arrangements.
At 9:58 in the morning, Liu Qingyu appeared in the conference room on time. However, when his eyes swept across the entire conference room, his face suddenly darkened. The conference room was already full of people, and these were all
From the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, Development and Reform Commission, Municipal Public Security Bureau, Justice Bureau, Finance Bureau, Construction Bureau, Transportation Bureau, Water Conservancy Bureau, State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Industry and Commerce Bureau, Municipal Trade Union and many other departments.
However, there were only a few people sitting on the seats of the Standing Committee, and six people were not present.
At this time, as soon as the door opened, Ji Jiantao walked in first. Immediately behind him, five people, Cheng Rundong, director of the Organization Department, Chen Liping, director of the Propaganda Department, Wang Jianhui, deputy mayor, Tang Guocai, secretary of the Political and Legal Committee, and Hu Ruilin, secretary-general of the municipal party committee, filed in.
Several people did not speak after entering the door. They all sat silently in their seats, either drinking tea with their heads down, or looking up at the ceiling, looking indifferent.
Demonstration! Demonstration by Chi Guoguo!
Liu Qingyu's face was calm. He saw Ji Jiantao's move in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. He just glanced at the audience and said: "Okay, everyone is here, let's have a meeting now."
, the reason why this meeting was held was because of the incident yesterday in which migrant workers went to the Municipal Civil Air Defense Office to ask for wages that were owed for half a year, and as a result, three people fell from a building and one person died. I believe that most people should have heard about this incident.
Having said that, the issue before us now is more difficult. As the main responsible persons of the municipal party committee and government, and as civil servants of the people, can we truly solve the problems that they urgently care about for the people? Can we
To prevent tragedies like Jiang Zhigang from happening again?
Therefore, I have drawn up today’s topic on how to solve the root cause of the problem of arrears of wages for migrant workers. Everyone can speak freely!”
After Liu Qingyu finished speaking, Wang Jianhui, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Vice Mayor, stood up and said: "Secretary Liu, with all due respect, the problem of migrant workers' wages being in arrears has not been a problem for a year or two. Since the word migrant workers was invented in 1983,
It has been more than 30 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but we have been clamoring to solve the problem of arrears of wages for migrant workers every year, but it has never been solved. Secretary Liu, have you ever thought about this?
Why?"
Liu Qingyu said lightly: "Would you like to hear some high-level opinions?"
Wang Jianhui said: "It's not a high-level argument. Today I just want to discuss the matter and tell the truth. I think the fundamental reason why this problem has not been solved for more than 30 years is that migrant workers have weak legal awareness and lack of ability to defend their rights.
The method is single and there is no sense of contract, so when they are owed wages, it is difficult for them to take up legal weapons to protect their rights and interests.
But now, it is a legal society. Without evidence, you have no right to speak. Everything depends on evidence. If you don’t have a contract, whether it is a contractor, an enterprise, or even a judicial authority, how can you support the protection of your rights and interests?
?
At the same time, because in many cases, it is not that those contractors or construction companies do not want to pay wages to migrant workers, but because they themselves are likely to advance the project payment when they undertake the project, because if they do not advance the project payment
, they may not even be able to contract projects, which will lead to a tight capital chain for construction companies. Migrant workers are at the bottom of society. Once the situation changes, it will definitely be the migrant workers who will be harmed in the end.
Of course, there are many reasons why migrant workers are owed wages, but the relationship here is complicated and cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. Moreover, the problem that has not been solved for more than 30 years is not as big as ours in Tiandu.
It can be solved by just talking to each other. This is a social and systemic problem that can only be improved through trial and error. It is impossible to get it right in one step."
Having said this, Wang Jianhui chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, Secretary Liu, I'm a pretty straightforward person. I can say whatever I like, so don't be offended."
Wang Jianhui confessed to Liu Qingyu at the last moment, but what he said before was definitely a bombardment.
He was directly telling Liu Qingyu that the meeting you held today is simply a formalist meeting and has no practical significance at all. Solving the root cause of the problem of arrears of wages for migrant workers is a false proposition.
It's simply impossible to achieve.
After Wang Jianhui finished speaking, the scene fell into silence, and everyone's eyes turned to Liu Qingyu. Everyone wanted to see how Liu Qingyu solved this problem.
Liu Qingyu just glanced at Wang Jianhui and then asked: "Comrade Wang Jianhui, let me ask you, what do you think is the current effectiveness of our country's governance of naked officials?"
Wang Jianhui was startled: "Very good. Since the implementation of the official property declaration system and a series of systems to control naked officials, the problem of naked officials has been greatly improved. In the future, naked officials will not only want to be promoted and make a fortune in China, but also protect their loved ones."
It’s getting harder and harder to send it abroad.”
Liu Qingyu nodded: "Very good. The fact that you can confirm this question shows that you are quite honest. Then let me ask you again, what do you think is the living standard of our Chinese people from 1983 to now? What is the overall national strength of our country?
how?"
Wang Jianhui frowned slightly. He had realized that Liu Qingyu might have started to set a trap for him, but he couldn't figure out what was in Liu Qingyu's trap. He could only continue to answer step by step: "These questions are very important."
Simply, from 1983 to now, our country has undergone earth-shaking changes, the living standards of the people have been qualitatively improved, and the comprehensive national strength has increased exponentially."
Liu Qingyu suddenly asked: "Comrade Wang Jianhui, here comes my final question. Do you think it is more complicated to solve the problem of arrears of wages for migrant workers, or to improve our country's comprehensive national strength from the level of 1983 to now?"
What’s the level of complexity?”
"Secretary Liu, there doesn't seem to be any comparison, right?" Wang Jianhui finally realized what Liu Qingyu's trap was and quickly tried to avoid answering the question.
Liu Qingyu smiled and shook his head: "Comrade Wang Jianhui, you are wrong. Although these problems are unrelated, they are all real problems that occur in our country. Since these problems all exist, and some problems are
Once it is solved, we can make an analogy. I just want to know your answer."
Wang Jianhui smiled bitterly and said: "It must be that it is relatively simple to solve the wage problem of migrant workers."
Liu Qingyu nodded: "Okay, since you admit this. Comrade Wang Jianhui, the reason why I raised these two comparisons is to tell you that for us in China, there is no problem that cannot be solved, and
The real question is whether our officials want to solve it. And by officials, I mean all of us here today."
Ji Jiantao rolled his eyes and suddenly said with a smile: "Secretary Liu, I think you have some ideas? Why don't you tell us and let us all listen?"
