The Epidemic hit the economy gradually deepened Henan Yichuan County Court non-staffing staff unpaid for months Yichuan County Court staff in the editorial staff pampered at the same time, while its lower court staff has been struggling to make ends meet.

China’s economic downturn is gradually surfacing due to the New Crown (CCP virus) epidemic, and some local governments are even experiencing unpaid wages. The court in Yichuan County, Luoyang City, Henan Province, has been in arrears for months, and as the year draws to a close, affected staff are complaining, but are being silenced by the authorities to maintain stability, and are in danger of being fired.

The civil servants in Yichuan County revealed that a large number of clerks and bailiffs of the local courts have not been paid for months, and many have fallen on hard times. One of the clerks, Li Weiyan, had expressed dissatisfaction, sparking a collective protest, but the officers were forced to remain silent after receiving a stern warning.

A clerk of the Yichuan County Court confirmed the incident when checked by this station, but she also stressed that the matter can only be unified by the court’s political office to speak to the public, and she cannot say more.

The clerk said: you want Li Weiyan phone is not it? I know you ask this, what you directly contact with the political office, you do not have to say, every clerk call, so the impact is not good. Because now the situation is complicated, as the clerk, including the salary of this piece, and then many situations I am not too clear. You should not make it difficult for me.

The station also tried to contact Li Weiyan, who took the lead in expressing his dissatisfaction, but the other party did not answer the reporter’s call.

According to public information, there are at least 50 people who have faced trouble by participating in protests at the Yichuan County Court, and they were recruited by the local Human Resources and Social Security Bureau specifically for the court.

Yichuan County Human Resources and Social Security Bureau officials admitted to being responsible for recruitment, but said they were unaware of the specific unpaid wages.

Human Resources and Social Security Bureau: We help recruit good, but you say this salary this situation, we human resources and social security bureau does not grasp. Our side, there are many situations, you like us this administrative staff, most of them are financial wages, there are also subordinate institutions, there are some not financial wages.

Our reporter called the Yichuan County Finance Bureau again to inquire about the group of political and legal temporary workers who are owed wages, the next step is to face the fate of being fired. Ichuan County Finance Bureau officials said this part of the staff “overstaffing”, the local government is working to clean up.

Finance Bureau: Who told you that no salary was paid? You like self-supporting units, then ask their own units. It should have overstaffing, now is cleaning up this problem.

Chen Hongtao, a member of the media, said that local governments often employ cheap supernumerary staff to help maintain stability. Similar nature of unpaid wages in Henan Province is also common.

Chen Hongtao said: bailiff ah, clerk ah, the kind of people it. The employment of personnel, right, not they are in the preparation. There are several identities of people inside, should belong to the kind of labor dispatch, some units called what self-supporting staff, with your own income to pay this part of the people. This year’s overall economic situation is tight, many places are like this, can not afford to pay wages, so that there will be many problems ah, it will turn the power of law enforcement into an opportunity for power rent-seeking. In Henan this should be a common phenomenon, there is this soil ah.

The authorities employ a large number of cheap temporary workers to participate in the maintenance of stability, but the same work with different pay, and even the lack of the most basic protection, when the problem, or even public opinion, these temporary workers will be abandoned, this has been the most common practice of the official institutions of the Communist Party, especially law enforcement agencies. However, due to the pressure of employment, even though basic rights are trampled on, a large number of Chinese people are still eager to work in the relevant jobs.
