The Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) and the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU) have jointly released a batch of typical cases on clearing wage arrears, focusing on the fulfillment of duties of administrative prosecution supervision.
The release aims to ensure the effective implementation of a special campaign on fundamentally addressing wage arrears and to promote law-based resolutions to this problem.
The four cases released all involved supervision of administrative non-litigation enforcement. They focused on addressing the most pressing difficulties and problems related to wage arrears that are of great concern to workers, such as inadequate wage payments and difficulties in enforcement caused by enterprises' malicious cancellation of registration in sectors such as services and construction, where wage arrears frequently occur, in a bid to promote the resolution of wage arrears at the source.
In February this year, the SPP and the ACFTU jointly issued a notice on further strengthening the collaborative protection of workers' legitimate rights and interests.
This year, more efforts will be made by procuratorial organs nationwide to continuously focus on employment, especially new employment forms, and fully perform their duties of administrative prosecution to effectively safeguard workers' legitimate rights and interests by aligning with the requirements of the special campaign on the procuratorial protection of people's livelihoods. The efforts will build on the successful experience of the special campaign on comprehensively enhancing administrative prosecution supervision to safeguard people's livelihoods and public welfare.
