On Sep 9^th, Yilian has carried out the third legal training for the migrant workers at the Peking University’s construction site since August. This time, Yilian invited an old friend of these workers—Mr. Shichun Han, as a speaker for the training program, titled “how to collect evidence for a valid labor relation”. This training was also a milestone event for Yilian’s project, which is sponsored by the United Nations Democracy Fund. 



Around 7:20, workers who finished their work arrived successively, and each attendee was handed a booklet of legal knowledge that Yilian had complied for migrant workers, as supplementary training materials. Some were reading the booklet once they sat down, and a few started to discuss with others nearby.also a milestone event for Yilian’s project, which is sponsored by the United Nations Democracy Fund. 



The training started at 7:30, Mr. Han firstly shared a work-injury case he used to work on. As the beneficiary was not able to provide enough evidence, he ended up with only a small amount of compensation. Therefore, Mr. Han suggested everyone to keep records in daily life. Then, he went through a review of last two training, including what is supposed to be in the labor contract, and workers’ labor rights. He pointed out, besides written document like labor contract, some small items can be also used as evidence for labor relations, such as nametag and work clothes.We could tell the workers had enjoyed the interaction with Mr. Han after his questions, some answers were totally cracking us up. Based upon their answers, Mr. Han had talked about strategies of evidence collection and some dos and dons during the collecting process. 



When the training was towards the end, one worker mentioned that it would cost too much to go through a legal approach. Those who are familiar Yilian yelled “Ask Yilian for help, they are providing legal service for free!” Once again, Mr. Han asked the workers to feel free to call Yilian’s hotline—01082357827, and told them that they were also able to find this number on the booklet. At the end, the attendees carefully filled out the prepared feedback form. When others returned the forms, there were a few still asking Mr. Han questions.



This training was the last one before the Mid-Autumn Festival; Yilian prepared each attendee a gift set. Besides snacks like mooncake and bread inside, there were a few other legal knowledge booklets regarding marriage, heritage and job security, which they told Yilian’s staff they also concerned a lot through previous investigation.
