Chinese trade unions have vowed to help workers get paid wages owed to them in the new year. 
 
The emphasis will be on helping migrant workers in the construction and catering industries where the problem of unpaid wages is especially serious.

Chinese trade unions are taking more efforts to monitor and punish employers who fail to pay wages to their workers, such as electronic credit systems to supervise wage payments.
