Abstract

The article focuses on migrant workers in Beijing, China. It is indicated that there is a work team of interior decorators that hires migrants called as "guerilla" by the native Beijing residents. The team is composed of migrant workers with different skills like carpenters, painters and tilers. At Liuliqiao, migrant laborers wait for employment where they squat by the roadside with tools like hammers and saws. Intense work schedules and long working hours are the common issues that migrant workers endure with low salary.
