>>>“民工”一词被频繁使用,大概已有十多年之久。如今,城市中出现来自农村和不发达地区的打工者已是普遍现象。当他们走在城市的大街上,穿梭于写字楼间,抑或冒着严寒酷暑工作在尘土飞扬的建筑工地上时,我们真切地发现,他们已成为城市不可或缺的一部分。然而,就是这群普普通通的人,在走出乡村、进入城市务工谋生,为社会创造着财富的同时,却往往饱受着各种不公正待遇,其中他们的血汗钱被肆意克扣、拖欠的问题尤为突出。年关岁末,本刊派出记者深入我省民工较为集中的地区,进行寻访与调查,并推出这篇特别报道,希冀与社会各界一道共同探索从根本上解决民工欠薪问题之对策。——编者 >>> The term “migrant workers” is frequently used, probably for more than a decade. Today it is common for migrants from rural areas and underdeveloped areas to appear in cities. When they walked the streets of the city, shuttling between offices, or working in the dusty construction site with severe cold and heat, we realized that they have become an indispensable part of the city. However, while these ordinary people go out of villages and enter urban migrants to earn a living and create wealth for the community, they are often subjected to unfair treatment, of which their hard-earned money is arbitrarily deducted and defaulted The problem is particularly prominent. At the end of the year, our journal sent in-depth visits to areas where the migrant workers in our province are more concentrated, conducted searches and surveys, launched this special report and hoped to work with people from all walks of life to jointly explore solutions to fundamentally solve the problem of wage arrears for migrant workers. --editor
