赵强 and 黄刚 discuss the issue of workplace dignity behind the recent corporal punishment incident at a Tianjin company.
Huang Gang, did you see that company in Tianjin making employees do the 'dog crawl'? That's really a new low.
I saw it too. It's outrageous. This clearly violates employees' basic dignity and legal rights. It should be dealt with seriously according to the law.
The key is, the company also controls employees by threatening to fire them or withholding wages. Even if they don't know the law, this is way over the line.
Exactly. Some company cultures are becoming more and more off track, especially for young people in their first job—they can easily be misled or too afraid to resist. We really need to promote more knowledge about labor laws.
Yes, employees are the greatest resource and asset of a company. Respecting employees’ dignity and rights should be a basic requirement of management.
Actually, the government has been advocating for harmonious labor relations, but the key is for employees to know that when they encounter illegal behavior, they should report it to the police and stand up for their rights.
That's right. If companies don't follow the rules, in the end both employees and the company suffer. It's just not worth it.
It seems more needs to be done in company supervision and legal education to prevent such things from happening again.
