Chapter 468 - Labor Department (Part I)

Wang Guorui had just sent away the migrant workers and the builder who was in arrears of wages, but he really didn't have the so-called pleasure of pretending to be the master of the people. Because it is similar to saying that a certain high-ranking official or even the emperor has a private visit, or directly orders what is the decision for the people, which looks very good and very happy. But in fact, this is not a healthy country, let alone a healthy government. Because even if he is the supreme leader, no matter how powerful a person is, how many things can he handle? Therefore, the best thing to do is not to let the leader call the shots every time, but to have a system in place so that the interests of the people can be safeguarded. Otherwise, if the leader has to make decisions for the people in everything, this will certainly not be a healthy country and government.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after the investigation of the Statistics Bureau of our General Office, we have found that various labor disputes have actually occurred in various places. There were 120 cases of wage arrears, 32 cases of beating laborers, 564 cases of overtime work, and other acts that were unfavorable to laborers. Kang Tongwei introduced in front of everyone.

The officials who are doing it are talking about it one after another, because they did not expect that in the process of Taiwan's development, there will be such a major problem. In particular, the relationship between the laborers and the capitalists is becoming more and more complicated, and the capitalists treat the laborers so harshly, and they are obviously exploiting the workers here. One hundred and twenty wage arrears, which is already very terrible. Because even if there are only 10 people in a company, once the wages are in arrears, then at least 1,200 people are in arrears. And this 1,200 people have at least three or four relatives to feed, and the number of people affected is at least several times more. And coupled with their relatives and friends, the impact of this is more than ten times that of calculation, and there are too many things that are directly and indirectly affected.

Even the next situation shocked everyone. Because of what beats the laborers. There are a lot of arrears of wages for workers. Workers don't have much to do, maybe because of cultural reasons, as well as various reasons for weak power, they can't take the initiative to use legal weapons to protect their rights and interests. Of course, it is not that no one is willing to help them during this period. But they all voluntarily refused. There have been people in court who have helped them, but they are reluctant to sue their bosses. One is that they don't believe in the law, and the other is that they think they are weak and can't win the lawsuit. Or for some other reason, in short, almost no workers are willing to sue their bosses.

And the courts also face a dilemma, because most of the situations cannot be actively helped to solve them. Because there is a principle in civil law, that is, not to ask no questions, in an ancient Chinese saying, that is, the people do not prosecute the officials, so if these workers do not sue them. The courts really can't help them directly, and this is also the current judicial principle. And these are just one example, and I don't know how many of them are hidden under these waters.

Therefore, when they saw these data, everyone also felt a shock, this is simply terrible. Such terrible data is like a time bomb hidden in the Taiwan government, which is simply terrifying. If in case when it explodes. Pressing is certainly very dangerous. This is like the national government oppressed the people in the past, but in fact, the national government could not directly oppress the people. In the end, they still relied on those landlords to exploit the people too much.

Here in Taiwan, although the landlords have gradually disappeared, they have been replaced by capitalists. The capitalist took the place of the landlord and exploited the laborers, but the laborers were still in the process of being exploited. So then everyone knows that this capitalist began to exploit the laborers, apparently an unbridled exploitation. As soon as the unbridled exploitation becomes unbearable for the laborers, they will rebel. Although their rebellion was nothing in the face of musket artillery. But this also marked the beginning of the fall of the government. After all, those soldiers are from the common people, and if you let him shoot his own people, this is obviously hurting their feelings.

Therefore, the situation in Taiwan is not good now, especially because too many workers are being exploited. That's definitely not going to work.

"Tell me, what should I do in this situation? How should we deal with these issues? Wang Guorui asked.

And Kang Tongwei took the initiative to say: "Governor, why don't you just give an order, so that those laborers are not so excessively exploited, how about it?" ”

Wang Guorui thought about it, and finally said: "No, if I give an order, it means that it is me." Because of how powerful this command is, I am very skeptical of this. Because maybe it will be effective at first, but the more I get to the end, the more it will not work. As soon as I forget this order, the capitalists will also begin to reproduce in a solid state, and nothing will improve. This is also the so-called policy and countermeasures, and I can't solve this problem alone. ”

Of course, Wang Guorui knows that the effect of the instructions of the superiors is very low, because many of the documents such as the instructions of the superiors are temporary, and the implementation effect depends on the memory of the superiors. If the superiors remember, then the subordinates may also take the initiative to do it. But once the superiors ignore it, as long as they forget it a little, it will be troublesome. If the instructions are all temporary things, then there is no problem. However, if the interests of countless workers are pinned on this temporary instruction document, it will certainly be irresponsible to the laborers, and it is seriously irresponsible to the hundreds of millions of laborers in this country. A politician in later generations said that any small thing, multiplied by 1.3 billion, will become a big thing. That is to say, if a small thing can be encountered by everyone in a country, it is also a big thing in this country. If you pin such a big thing on your own instructions, the effect can be imagined. If it is not specifically resolved in law, it will definitely not work in this way.

"I think the reason why workers are like this at the moment is that we pay too little attention to them. We have always attached importance to economic development, but we have paid too little attention to these workers, who are not only at a disadvantage in terms of power but also in terms of culture. We think that if we just enforce the law fairly, it will be solved. However, there are too many workers with a low level of education, who do not know how to rely on the law to protect their interests, or who are unwilling to go to court, and can only endure silently when encountering things. ”

"And, until now, we didn't have a law specifically for workers. For example, there are laws that stipulate minimum wages, maximum working hours, and the protection of the rights and interests of workers. We don't have any laws at the moment, so we don't have any laws at all, so we have too little protection for workers. And because there is no law, the capitalists have taken advantage of the loopholes and exploited the laborers. I also saw just now that those whose interests were seriously infringed upon were those workers who did not have any skills. They are also relatively difficult to find employment, the employment channels are relatively narrow, and the wages are relatively low, but if they still have to be exploited, wouldn't it be very miserable? And because of cultural reasons, they are unable to protect their own interests, so who should bear this responsibility? That should be borne by our government, and if our government takes the initiative to think about them, then we will definitely face a group of neglected people. And this group accounts for more than 90 percent of our country's population. Once the interests of a country that accounts for more than 90 percent of the country's population are ignored, then we can certainly imagine what is going to happen next. Our government will soon face the death of the country. Wang Guorui said firmly.

Everyone was shocked, because what Wang Guorui said was right, the interests of more than 90% of a country's population are seriously ignored, and that must force those people to rebel. Once 90 percent of the country's population rebelled, how could the country continue to rule? So, this is really terrifying for him, it's unbelievable. At present, we are beginning to move in this direction, because in the past, people only paid attention to economic development, industrial development, etc., but they did not pay attention to the interests of workers. And now it is found that the interests of the workers have been seriously infringed, which is obviously terrible. If it goes on like this, it will definitely not work.

"Therefore, we must set up a department to protect the interests of workers. Establish a department mainly to safeguard the interests of laborers and maintain social fairness and order and normal production. If this continues, then we will be a country and will inevitably face the result of collapse. Let's not count on the conscience of the capitalists, not even on any exploiter. Because they are insatiable, we have to limit their greed, and that's what it's our government's job to do. They must be restrained from exploiting the people excessively, so that the society can function properly. ”

"Therefore, I propose to set up a labor department to deal with all kinds of labor matters, so that everyone can also protect the interests of those workers and ensure that their legitimate interests are not violated. In this way, they can feel the warmth of our government and the care of the society. (To be continued......)
