本报讯 (记者肖岳实习记者汪泉)昨天中午,近70名农民工来到丰台区和义农场路口,将道路封堵近半个小时。后在民警疏导下,该处交通才恢复。这些工人在附近一工地打工,称拿不到工钱才堵路讨薪。目前,此事仍在进一步处理中。

路人李先生介绍,昨天中午11点40分左右,近70名农民工来到和义农场路口处,将双向近20米长的道路占据,很多车被堵在路上无法通过。发生此事后,路人纷纷报警,民警很快赶到现场,边疏导秩序,边劝说农民工,并让他们所在工地的负责人到场。

昨天中午12点半,现场大部分工人已回到住宿地,包工头被带到附近派出所询问情况。

参与堵路的工人刘师傅说,他们这些工人大都来自河北、山东和河南等地。今年3月初,他们经包工头陈某介绍到位于南苑路112号的工地干活。然而,3月18日,工地负责人通知他们,不让他们继续做下去了。工人们表示,当初包工头承诺,他们是可以随时不干、随时结账的,当天他们就去要工钱,但没有结果,“我们也不想打扰大家,可是没有办法”。

随后,记者找到工地项目部经理靳先生。他表示,工地是不愿意让工人停工的,可是工人水平达不到公司的要求,人员也迟迟到不了位,“之前早就和他们的包工头说过,他们包工头也签写了退场申请书”。谈及工人被拖欠工资的问题,靳先生介绍,财务至少需要3个工作日才能把这笔钱从银行里提出来发给工人,他们已与工人说明了情况,但工人们都不理解,才造成这种情况的发生。

记者从当地派出所了解到,目前此事仍在进一步协商处理当中,具体是否会对“堵路事件”的相关组织者和责任人进行处罚,还未确定。
