France'S "New Labor Law" Reflects The Humanistic Spirit Of High Welfare Countries

Recently, when the British media reported on the French labor news, the "memorandum of understanding" signed by a French employers' Association "Syntec" and two French trade unions "cfdt" and "CGC" reported by France on April 1 was understood as the labor law. In fact, although this memorandum of understanding is to protect the company's management personnel's legal 11 hour rest time every day But the memorandum is neither mandatory nor does it include workers in other industries.

Although it is not mandatory, the company is not included in this treatment Management It is only limited to ordinary employees. However, this agreement signed by representatives of several enterprises in France and two major trade unions has shocked white-collar and blue-collar workers in China, including civil servants. It is not allowed to send e-mails to employees after work, nor can they call employees For some people in China who are used to "lead a phone call and have to get up in the middle of the night", it is a bit of "Arabian Night".

After surprise, it is envy. In some countries with high labor benefits in Europe and the United States, working hours strictly abide by the time regulations. However, it is impossible for me to work one more minute after work. Leaving at the right time is their natural human right. Any boss or any work excuse can not interfere with their "eight hours" time. It is precisely because of such traditional and firm labor The concept of welfare, therefore, seems so "abnormal" to us, but it is very common in European and American countries.

At present, great progress has been made in collective wage negotiation in China. With the joint participation of trade unions at all levels, the Federation of industry and commerce, China Federation of enterprises and human resources and social security departments, enterprises above the general scale will not be unable to obtain collective wage negotiation and labor remuneration payment as long as there are no major problems in the production and operation of enterprises wages However, in terms of compliance with labor hours, the situation is more complex, especially in some labor-intensive industries, such as mining, processing and manufacturing, catering services, etc., overtime phenomenon is relatively serious, and for this kind of phenomenon, labor supervision departments are often more difficult to obtain evidence at the level of supervision and law enforcement, so some business owners have the courage to work overtime in disguise Paragraphs emerge in endlessly.

In fact, in foreign countries, there are so good Labor welfare In addition to protecting the workers' rights, it is also very important to protect the employees' rights by calling the telephone or even to protect the employees' rights As a result, few business owners dare to test the law.

On the contrary, in China, even if the overtime phenomenon of enterprise owners is serious, they are generally "ordered" to rectify, and few of them are really fined or have their business license revoked. In the eyes of many people, overtime work may be a small problem even if it is serious for law enforcement personnel. Compared with wage deduction, overtime work is not worth paying attention to and using severe punishment measures.

Labor welfare right is the "natural" right of every worker, and no one has the right to infringe. Although the so-called "new labor law" in France is not a real labor law, it also gives us a lot of enlightenment. The most important point is that people-oriented, we should start from details and never send an email to employees after work.
