本报讯 (记者陈博)工头承包的工程迟迟没结算工资,周某等二三十名工人到北京后花园旅游开发有限公司(下称后花园公司)讨薪,并打伤公司保安。昨日,昌平法院开审此案,周某等7名讨薪“主力”被检方指控犯聚众扰乱社会秩序罪。

周某等人主要来自河北、陕西和安徽。检方指控,今月5月初,参与后花园公司工程的一批工人迟迟没从承包人王某手中领到工资。当月13日晚,周某、翟某等7人商议,围堵后花园公司讨要工资。

次日至15日,在周某组织下,翟某等人纠集赫某、班某等几十名工人在后花园公司门外聚集,用面包车围堵公司大门,挂讨薪横幅,阻止车辆及游客进出、阻止游客用餐,殴打公司两名保安欧某和桂某。经鉴定,桂某轻微伤。

检方认为,应以聚众扰乱社会秩序罪追究7人刑事责任。法庭未当庭宣判。
