"Further research is needed on setting up migrant workers interests and rights protection day."

What it is about: Sun Yulin, a labor contractor from Hubei province, and his brother were hailed as "trustworthy brothers" because they honored the commitment of not defaulting on migrant workers' wages. After being elected to national legislator last year, the man advised to enhance the protection of the rights of farmer-turned workers and make Dec 31 every year the "day of protecting the interests and rights of migrant workers".

Feedback: In an interview, Sun said that he received a written reply from Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security that the ministry will communicate with relevant department, because further research, discussion and legal procedure are needed to decide whether to set up the day. For this year's "two sessions", the man will develop his suggestion into a formal proposal, in the hope that protection of migrant workers' rights could be guaranteed by law-making.
