Red Alert 1895

Chapter 468: Labor Department (Part 1)

Wang Guorui had just sent away those migrant workers and the builder who was in arrears of wages, but he really didn't have the so-called pleasure of acting for the people and pretending to be coercive. Because it is similar to saying that a certain high-ranking official or even the emperor has a private visit, or directly ordering something to make decisions for the people, which looks very good and very satisfying. But in fact this is not a healthy country, let alone a healthy government. Because even if it is the supreme leader, no matter how powerful a person is, how many things can he handle? Therefore, the best way is not to let the leader decide every time, but to set up a system so that the interests of the people can be guaranteed. Otherwise, if everything has to be decided by the leaders for the people, this is definitely not a healthy country and government.

"Everyone, after the investigation by the Bureau of Statistics of our General Office, we have found that various labor disputes have actually occurred in various places. There are 120 cases of wage arrears, 32 cases of beating workers, and 560 cases of long-time overtime. There are four incidents, and there are countless other behaviors that are not conducive to workers, and it is impossible to count them clearly." Kang Tongwei introduced in front of everyone.

And the officials who are doing it are talking a lot, because they didn't expect that Taiwan would have such major problems in the process of development. In particular, the relationship between workers and capitalists is becoming more and more complicated, and the capitalists treat workers so harshly. They are obviously exploiting workers here one by one. One hundred and twenty wage arrears, this is already very scary. Because even if there are only ten people in a company, at least 1,200 people will be owed wages once they are in arrears. And these 1,200 people have at least three or four relatives to support, and the number of people affected is at least several times more. Plus their relatives and friends, the impact of this can be calculated by more than ten times, so there are too many things that are directly and indirectly affected.

Even what happened next made everyone even more shocking. For what beating laborers. There are a lot of wages owed to workers. And the laborers don't have much to do, perhaps because of cultural reasons. There are also various reasons for weak forces, and they cannot take the initiative to use legal weapons to protect their own rights and interests. certainly. It's not that no one is willing to help them during this period, but they all voluntarily refused. There used to be people in the courts who helped them, but they were 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 unable to win the lawsuit. Or for other reasons, in short, almost no workers are willing to sue their bosses.

And the courts are also facing a difficult problem, because most of these cases cannot actively help them solve them. Because there is a principle in civil law, that is, don't ask too much. To use an old Chinese saying, it means that people do not raise officials but do not investigate, so if these laborers do not sue them, the court really cannot directly help them. This is also the current judicial principle. And these are just one example, and it is unknown how many are hidden under these waters.

Therefore, when seeing these data, everyone also felt a shock, this is simply too scary. Such terrible data is like a time bomb hidden in the Taiwan government, it is simply too terrible. If in case when will it explode. Pressing sure is very dangerous. This is like the national government oppressing the people in the past, but in fact the national government cannot directly oppress the people, and ultimately relies on those landlords to exploit the people too much.

And here in Taiwan. Although the landlords gradually disappeared, they were replaced by capitalists. The capitalists replaced the landlords and exploited those laborers, but the laborers were still in the process of being exploited. So then everyone knows that this capitalist started to exploit workers, which is obviously an unrestrained exploitation. Once the unrestrained exploitation is unbearable to those workers, they will all rebel. Although their rebellion was nothing in front of guns and cannons, this also represented the beginning of the government's downfall. After all, those soldiers are all from the common people. If you let him shoot at his compatriots, this will obviously hurt their feelings.

Therefore, the situation in Taiwan is not very good now. Especially when too many workers are being exploited, this is definitely not acceptable.

"Let's talk about it. What should we do in this situation? How should we deal with these problems?" Wang Guorui asked.

And Kang Tongwei took the initiative to say: "Governor, why don't you just give an order. How about preventing those workers from being so over-exploited?"

Wang Guorui thought for a while, and finally said: "No, if I issue an order, it means that I am personally. Because of how powerful the effect of this order is, I also doubt it very much. Because maybe I will have an effect at the beginning. But the more it goes to the later, the more ineffective it will be. Once I forget this order at any time, those capitalists will start to reappear in a solid state, and there will be no improvement. This is the so-called policy at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. , I alone cannot solve this problem.”

Of course, Wang Guorui knew that the instructions from the superiors were very weak, because many of the documents such as the instructions from the superiors were temporary, and the execution effect depended on the memory of the superior alone. If the superior remembers, then the subordinate may also take the initiative to do it. But once the superior ignores it, as long as it is slightly forgotten, it will be troublesome. If the instructions are all temporary things, then naturally there is no problem. However, if the interests of countless laborers are entrusted to this temporary instruction document, it must 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 matter multiplied by 1.3 billion will become a major event. That is to say, if a small matter can be encountered by everyone in a country, it is a big thing in this country. If you entrust such a huge matter to yourself as a command, the effect can be imagined. If there is no special legal solution, it will definitely not work in this way.

"I think the reason why workers are like this is that we pay too little attention to them. We have always attached importance to economic development, but too little time to pay attention to these workers. The above are also at a serious disadvantage. We think that as long as we enforce the law fairly, we can solve the problem. However, there are too many workers with low education, who don’t know how to rely on the law to protect their own interests, or are unwilling to go to court. When something happens, you can only endure it in silence.”

"And, until now, we have not had a law that specifically considers laborers. For example, there are laws that stipulate the minimum wage, the maximum working hours, and the protection of the rights and interests of laborers. We do not currently have any , we currently don’t have corresponding laws at all, so this means that we have too little protection for laborers. And because there is no law, those capitalists are allowed to take advantage of the loopholes and exploit those laborers. What I just said You can see that the people whose interests have been seriously infringed are those workers without special skills. They are also difficult to find employment, the employment channels are relatively narrow, and the wages are relatively low, but if they still have to be exploited, it will not be very miserable. And they are unable to protect their own interests due to cultural reasons, so who should bear this responsibility? It should be borne by our government. If our government departments take the initiative to consider for them, then we will definitely face a neglect Group. And this group accounts for more than 90% of our country's population. Once the interests of a country that accounts for more than 90% of the country's population are ignored, then we can imagine what will happen next. Our government will soon face subjugation." Wang Guorui said firmly.

Everyone was shocked~lightnovelpub.net~Because what Wang Guorui said was right, if the interests of more than 90% of the population in a country are seriously ignored, it must be to force those people to rebel. Once 90% of the country's population rebels, how can the country survive? So, this is really scary for him, it's unbelievable. And now it is just beginning to move in this direction, because in the past everyone only paid attention to economic development, industrial development, etc., but they did not pay attention to the interests of workers. But now it is found that the interests of workers have been seriously violated. This is obviously terrible. If it goes on like this, it will definitely not work.

"So, we must set up a department to safeguard the interests of laborers. Establish a department that mainly protects the interests of laborers and maintains social fairness and normal production. If this continues, then we will be a country without a country, and we must Facing the consequences of downfall. We don't expect the conscience of the capitalists, or even any exploiters. Because they are all greedy, so we must limit their greed, which is the duty of our government. They must be restrained from excess Exploiting the people is the only way to make this society function normally."

"Therefore, I propose to set up a labor department to deal with various labor matters, so that everyone can properly safeguard the interests of those workers and ensure that their legitimate interests are not violated. This will allow them to feel the strength of our government. Warm and feel the care of the society for them." (To be continued)
