A company was exposed for making employees work 19 hours a day, sparking public discussion about labor rights.
Old Huang, did you see that news story? A company was exposed for making employees work 19 hours a day, from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Yes, I saw it. That already seriously violates labor law. The law generally states that working hours should not exceed 8 hours a day, and even overtime has clear limits.
The most outrageous part is that the monthly salary was only 3,000 yuan, with no social insurance and no overtime pay. This is basically draining employees’ health.
Exactly. And some employees also said that if they wanted to resign, the company would deduct one month’s salary. This clearly violates workers’ lawful rights and interests.
The company later responded by saying that there was too much business, so when employees were busy, they would work for a very long time. But 19 hours a day just sounds completely unreasonable.
So the local labor inspection department has already stepped in to investigate. If the situation is true, the company will not only have to pay the unpaid wages and make up the social insurance contributions, but may also face penalties.
A lot of people are discussing this online now. In fact, there is nothing wrong with working hard, but if a company ignores the law and exploits employees without limits, it definitely will not last long.
That’s right. Health and dignity should not be exchanged for wages. Workers also need to learn to keep evidence and protect their rights through legal channels.
