Union to help migrants get pay on time

The All-China Federation of Trade Unions said yesterday it will help ensure migrant workers receive their salaries on time, as Spring Festival - traditionally, the peak season for delayed payments - is fast approaching.

Federation chairman Wang Zhaoguo said unemployment among migrant workers has become one of the biggest problems caused by the global recession.

"Because migrant workers still receive their salaries late sometimes, we should work harder to tackle this problem," he said.
