Collecting Evidence From 80% Of Migrant Workers

In an interview with reporters, Huang Weimu said he hoped to awaken the sense of rights of migrant workers.

"After 80" peasant workers "undercover" rights protection business association September 16th hearing, in early September, "the most black horse migrant workers crazy legal rights" and a series of nets appeared in the major Web Forum.

The article is named "Huang Weimu", which tells the author's own undercover garment factory, collecting evidence for six months and reporting the experience of the manufacturer.

Article said, the garment factory does not sign labor contracts with employees, does not buy social security for employees, the wage level is not up to the minimum standard, seriously arranges employees overtime work overtime, and does not pay overtime fees according to law.

In September 1st, Huang Weimu went to Panyu District labor department to lodge a complaint, claiming that the clothing factory claimed a total of 55334 yuan for the difference wage, the difference overtime, overtime overtime compensation, social security compensation and so on, but he had only received 4 months' salary in the total amount of 4203 yuan.

When the undercover activist incident was revealed, it immediately attracted wide public attention.

Some people call this the awakening of the new generation of migrant workers' awareness of rights protection. Some people call this undercover rights protection cause people to follow suit and should not be promoted. Some people call it Huang Weimu's undercover, so he is a fake labor relations with his factory, and others compare Huang Weimu directly to the "Wang Hai" of migrant workers.

But more people are asking: who is Huang Weimu?

Why did he go undercover?

Is he trying to hype?

In September 10th, our reporter found Huang Weimu, telling the real story of a Post-80 peasant worker's undercover rights protection and the psychological process behind the undercover.

Wen, map / reporter Li Ying, "I worked in accordance with the rules and worked hard for six months, so as to collect enough evidence to facilitate today's outbreak.

Everything was prepared, and I was like a undercover man, guiding myself into a "Infernal Affairs" between employers and employees.

Today, the protagonist of Infernal Affairs is sitting opposite the reporter.

He was wearing a white short sleeved jacket and dark trousers, his hair sprayed with mousse, a black briefcase, and a thick stack of data.

This "80 generation" Guangxi boy chose a dramatic and controversial way to defend his rights: undercover.

He called this event "the peak competition between an innocent peasant worker and a family with tens of millions of assets" and named it "the most black horse peasant worker event in history".

Many netizens say Huang Weimu likes to button up his hat. Some media say that Huang Weimu is well aware of the way to attract attention. For all kinds of concerns and disputes, Huang Weimu said he had expected half a year ago.

The target factory is randomly selected. In January 1, 2008, the new labor law was implemented.

News related to this has never been interrupted.

The grand discussion took root in an ordinary peasant worker's heart and planted seeds for the undercover operation 2 months later.

Huang Weimu, who was born in 1984, dropped out of junior high school in 1984 and worked in Guangdong in 2002.

His working experience is very rich: furniture factories, garment factories, lighting factories, printing factories, plastics factories, washing plants and chemical companies.

"What I have seen and heard is the violation of labor rights and interests everywhere.

I don't understand why the law clearly stipulates that there are so many rights that no one can protect. "

When the discussion on the new labor law was on the march in the two sessions in March, a bold idea appeared in Huang Weimu's mind: to find a factory to go undercover.

"I want to use actual action to pform the factory, to make a vivid example, through the network and the media propaganda, to give warning to the employment enterprise."

Huang Weimu said he was a very powerful man.

Soon, by the end of March, Huang Weimu had made final preparations for his undercover plan and cut off contact with his family.

The undercover programme began in March 25th.

The first problem facing Huang Weimu is where to go undercover.

As luck would have it, there was a clothing factory near his place where he worked all the year round.

I've done it in the clothing factory before, and I know how these factories work.

Piecework salary, long time overtime, no contract... "

It can be said that the clothing factory in Panyu is a random choice for Huang Weimu.

"This factory was moved later. It was a newly built factory building. It was beautiful and estimated to cost several million yuan.

This is the reason why I choose here. I can't run the monk without running the temple.

During the interview, Huang Weimu asked about the vacation.

The other side replied, "there is a rest and there is no need to work overtime on Sunday."

In this way, Huang Weimu walked into the door of the garment factory with his simple baggage and began his half year undercover career.

Time workers work overtime at 2.5 yuan per night. Huang Weimu is a special employee on the rear. There is no minimum wage.

The so-called special aircraft employees are specially employed to train new cars and new cars.

"My job is to sit on a hard bench from morning till night, and use my hands and feet in front of the machines imported from Japan, and put all kinds of buttons and doors on the tailor's clothes.

Wages are paid by piece counting, and overtime is 0.5 yuan per hour at night. This is our overtime pay.

If you are a timer, you can work overtime at 2.5 yuan per night. "

From 8 a.m. to 10 pm, Huang Weimu and his colleagues work 11.5 hours a day, excluding meals.

"The first feeling of working here is tired, very tired!

For a long time, the movement of my hands seemed to be filled with lead, and I sat on the bench for a long time and my butt was hurt. "

A week later, Huang Weimu got 300 yuan.

Though tired, some colleagues told Huang Weimu that the factory was pretty good. It could pay wages on time every month, and the overtime time was not the longest.

I was forced to adapt to life without a lot of external information.

I started wearing my slippers and dragging my body to the workshop every day, just like my colleagues here.

Before I leave here, I must disguise myself and pretend to be a tame little sheep.

Huang Weimu said.

"Most of the employees who earn monthly wages can earn 800 yuan per month for thirty days of work, with a conversion of 3.3 yuan per hour.

However, the minimum wage of Panyu has been 790 yuan per month for 20.83 working days since April 1, 2008.

In addition, we work 11.5 hours a day from Monday to Saturday, and work 8 hours on Sunday. The so-called "rest is Sunday, no work at night, and overtime pay is also seriously low."

Whenever we think about this, Huang Weimu will secretly think that he will get his own part in the future.

"On the surface, I am a hard-working employee. I go to work regularly under the supervision of security, work hard and work hard, but my brain is planning how to overturn the rules here."

After work, Huang Weimu has a more important task: collecting evidence.

In the name of asking for leave, "stealing" to the attendance card, Huang Weimu himself decided to find 4 evidences.

"First, confirm the evidence of labor relations.

Second, evidence of working hours.

Third, wages.

Fourth, that is the evidence of my serious work. I can not let them turn to say that I don't work hard. "

In order to find evidence, Huang Weimu also spent 500 yuan to buy a small DV.

First, determine labor relations.

We have a work permit.

I was always worried that it wasn't until June that I got the reassurance.

At that time, temporary residence permits of floating population in Panyu were all IC cards, and all of them registered factory information.

This time, Huang Wei Mu spent some time thinking about working hours.

The clothing factory punched in to work.

"The attendance card in the security room is a good piece of evidence. I started thinking about how to back up the attendance card.

But every day, when we go to work, security guards are always standing at the clock clock like a sentinel, watching us punch cards. I can't take away my cards without cause and cause security vigilance.

I tried to steal away the card without causing security attention, but I could not imagine a way to make both ends meet.

Until I went to work one day, I saw a colleague leave the security room with his card and said, "I need to get the card to sign the factory director."

One question, I know that the original request for leave to find the factory director to sign cards, suddenly feel suddenly enlightened.

Later, Huang Weimu took a day off and got the attendance card successfully. He did not look for the factory director to sign the card. Instead, he took out the scan and saved it to the U disk.

"I also received the first salary here in the afternoon, and the wages in those days in March.

Wages are paid in cash, signed by the manager, and the amount of money is cleared.

Without wages, I think this is to prevent employees from going to the labor department to complain with their salary slips.

Although there are no wage slips, a piecework table is used to check the amount of work.

"I kept the form with the manager's fingerprints on it, and left several colleagues."

"When I was looking for evidence, I specifically found evidence that I could work hard.

In May, I got the highest wage in the piecework Department of 1400 yuan.

Huang Weimu got a lot of evidence that he wanted.

However, something unexpected happened.

The "undercover" plan nearly broke off for the two time. "Well, for a long time, allergic dermatitis developed again.

The doctor said that we must stay away from the allergenic source. Otherwise, we should take anti allergy drugs every day and suggest that I leave the garment factory.

I bought a cushion and started taking medicine every day, and I managed to keep up.

Dermatitis attacks and itches all over.

After taking a period of medicine, Huang Weimu developed resistance and increased the dosage.

However, there are other accidents.

Two times, Huang Weimu quarreled with his supervisor, almost because he was fired and had to interrupt his undercover plan.

"At that time, I was not afraid, if I fired, I would start my contingency plan."

Huang Weimu's special mission is only he knows.

His undercover plan was originally scheduled for October 1st, but the deterioration of his allergy forced him to leave the factory ahead of schedule.

In August 31st, when Huang Weimu got his salary, he cleaned up and left the factory.

However, he will face another "more thrilling" struggle.

After leaving the factory, Huang Weimu did two things: report to the labor department, post online.

On the day when Huang Weimu went to the labor department, he dressed neatly, briefed and brought DV.

After completing the petition, more than a dozen people gathered around to help him fill in the form.

These workers were unable to file the case for several days because they were not standardized.

This made Huang Weimu feel that what he had done was of great value.

His claim against the manufacturer amounted to 55334 yuan.

"If the factory is in a good position and promises to rectify in accordance with the law and give reasonable compensation to all employees, I would like to sign an agreement under the notarization of the labor department or the third party."

The Internet has become an important tool for safeguarding rights. Huang Weimu has been preparing for the battleground since the beginning of his preparations.

His writing materials, which had been prepared for several months, caused a sensation on the Internet.

The tone of his post and the act of posting the screen were also controversial on the Internet.

"My big goal is to create a sensation for the community."

From the title of the postscript to the debate with netizens, Huang Weimu spends a lot of time on the Internet every day.

In September 4th, Huang Weimu's post gave rise to a big discussion at Tianya forum.

"Everyone on the Internet is equal, that is, that day, I found confidence in the horizon.

In this ever-changing virtual world, I must use unconventional measures to publicize this event.

In this post, there is another thrilling Infernal Affairs.

After the media intervention, Huang Weimu is constantly sending media attention to the post.

"The media commentary on the incident that day was placed in the headlines of Xinhua net politics. I spent 10 hours on the Internet and excited to go online all night."

Huang Weimu also put all kinds of laws and regulations and related information in his QQ space.

At present, the labour department has been involved in the investigation.

Reporters learned that Huang Weimu undercover factory had been shut down for a day for investigation, in September 6th also let factory workers signed the contract.

Huang Weimu's rights protection case will also be held at the arbitration tribunal of the Panyu District Labor Arbitration Commission in early October, which Huang Weimu called "century arbitration".

Dialogue: I am not "Wang Hai", nor do I want to win fame for journalists. Wang Hai has many disputes over the years of counterfeiting.

Now, many people say you are the "Wang Hai" of migrant workers. Do you agree?

Huang Weimu: you can say that I am "Wang Hai" in the rights protection of migrant workers.

But I have similarities and differences with Wang Hai.

The same thing is, we are all trying to maintain the dignity of the law.

The difference is that Wang Hai regards cheating as a career, and I just regard it as a blueprint.

Reporter: so are you worried about someone going to learn from you in the future?

Huang Weimu: I would rather have such a thing happen.
