lǎo huáng老黄,nǐ你kàn dào看到nà tiáo那条xīn wén新闻le了ma吗?yǒu有jiā家gōng sī公司bèi被bào曝yuán gōng员工měi tiān每天yào要gōng zuò工作19xiǎo shí小时,cóng从zǎo shàng早上7diǎn点dào到líng chén凌晨2diǎn点。

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.

黄刚
kàn dào看到le了,zhè这yǐ jīng已经yán zhòng严重wéi fǎn违反láo dòng fǎ劳动法le了。fǎ lǜ法律guī dìng规定měi tiān每天gōng zuò shí jiān工作时间yì bān一般bù不chāo guò超过8xiǎo shí小时,jiù suàn就算jiā bān加班yě也yǒu有míng què明确xiàn zhì限制。

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.

赵强
zuì最lí pǔ离谱de的shì是,yí gè一个yuè月gōng zī工资cái才3000yuán元,hái还méi yǒu没有shè bǎo社保,yě也méi yǒu没有jiā bān fèi加班费,zhè这jiǎn zhí简直shì是zài在tòu zhī透支yuán gōng员工de的shēn tǐ身体。

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.

黄刚
shì是a啊,ér qiě而且hái yǒu还有yuán gōng员工shuō说,rú guǒ如果xiǎng想lí zhí离职,gōng sī公司hái还yào要kòu扣yí gè yuè一个月gōng zī工资。zhè zhǒng这种zuò fǎ做法míng xiǎn明显qīn fàn侵犯le了láo dòng zhě劳动者de的hé fǎ合法quán yì权益。

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.

赵强
gōng sī公司hòu lái后来huí yìng回应,shuō说shì是yīn wèi因为yè wù业务tài太duō多,yuán gōng员工máng忙de的shí hòu时候jiù就huì会gōng zuò工作hěn很jiǔ久。dàn但měi tiān每天19 xiǎo shí19小时,tīng qǐ lái听起来gēn běn根本bù hé lǐ不合理。

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.

黄刚
suǒ yǐ所以dāng dì当地láo dòng劳动jiān chá监察bù mén部门yǐ jīng已经jiè rù介入diào chá调查le了。rú guǒ如果qíng kuàng情况shǔ shí属实,gōng sī公司bù jǐn不仅yào要bǔ fā补发gōng zī工资、bǔ jiǎo补缴shè bǎo社保,hái还kě néng可能miàn lín面临chǔ fá处罚。

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.

赵强
xiàn zài现在hěn很duō多rén人dōu都zài在wǎng shàng网上tǎo lùn讨论zhè这jiàn件shì事。qí shí其实nǔ lì努力gōng zuò工作méi没wèn tí问题,dàn但rú guǒ如果qǐ yè企业wú shì无视fǎ lǜ法律、wú xiàn无限yā zhà压榨yuán gōng员工,nà那kěn dìng肯定zǒu走bù不cháng yuǎn长远。

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.

黄刚
méi cuò没错。jiàn kāng健康hé和zūn yán尊严bù néng不能yòng lái用来huàn换gōng zī工资。láo dòng zhě劳动者yě也yào要xué huì学会bǎo cún保存zhèng jù证据,tōng guò通过fǎ lǜ法律tú jìng途径bǎo hù保护zì jǐ自己de的quán yì权益。

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.
