Many workers were affected at different levels. At present, the government of Jilong town is auctioning shoes factory equipment to give workers wages.

A vice president of the chamber of Commerce was missing. In May 12th, a major earthquake occurred in Sichuan. Many people working in Huizhou had the idea of going home to visit. The same was true of more than 110 Sichuan workers working in the Long Wei shoe factory in Jilong Town, Huidong county. But in May 8th, the shoe factory owner suddenly disappeared, and owed them at least 3 months' salary, so that they could not go home.

Reporters yesterday saw in the Long Wei shoe factory, the factory gate closed, leaving only the side door, the factory workshop door has been locked.

The staff of Jilin town government organization are maintaining order at the scene to protect the equipment in the factory from being moved.

Most of the workers live in factories and wait for the government to deal with them.

It is understood that the Long Wei shoe factory is a large local shoe factory. There are three production lines, more than 180 workers, and shoe factory owner Yang Xingkun is the vice president of the Jilong shoe industry association.

On the evening of May 8th, the boss and his wife and three children suddenly disappeared, and the workers were busy on the production line. He Zhanghui, the shoe factory director, received the phone call from other people to know that the boss might have run away. He immediately contacted Yang Xingkun and could not get in touch with him.

Only three months, 70% wages, it is understood that He Zhanghui himself from Sichuan, shoe factory executives are also mostly Sichuan people, all the villagers take the villagers, there are more than 110 workers in the factory are Sichuan people.

When the earthquake happened in the hometown, the workers were very concerned about the family situation.

He Zhanghui said, the boss is usually good to the workers. From November last year, there was a problem of capital turnover in the factory. The salary of the supervisor at the factory did not come out. At that time, considering that the boss was in a difficult position, he thought everyone would tide over the difficulties.

Since March this year, the wages of ordinary workers have not been reduced, and the statistics are in arrears of more than 830 thousand yuan.

Dai Shixiong, deputy director of the comprehensive management office of Jilong Town, said that after receiving reports from the workers of the Long Wei shoe factory, the Town Committee and the town government immediately set up an emergency handling team to organize the public security, labor and other related departments to convene a meeting to deal with the matter.

First of all, to stabilize workers' mood, the government gave money to help the workers to dinner and guarantee the supply of water and electricity; because property has been mortgaged to banks, it can only valuate the equipment in the factory, and then publicly auction the wages to the workers.

The property is valued at 660 thousand yuan and the starting price is 670 thousand yuan, which guarantees at least 85% of the workers' wages.

Yesterday afternoon, He Zhanghui told reporters that the government only promised to pay about 70% of the wages owed, and only pay 3, 4, 5, three months of wages, from November to February last year's salary is not issued, it is difficult to accept.

On the one hand, the equipment valuation of the factory is too low, which is obviously lower than the market price. The workers estimate the minimum value of about 700000 yuan; on the other hand, the government should give some money to the workers to get 100% of the wages.

At present, the two sides are negotiating on the amount of wages paid.
