政协委员提议加强有效监管超时加班-凯发k8官网

全国政协委员指出，当前我国的996问题处于企业失控、监管失序、工会失灵的状态，要改变996工作文化，不是那么简单的事。

 

members of china's top political ¹ body have proposed reinforced and effective ² to stop companies overworking their employees.

 

since 2019, the 996 work culture－which means working from 9 am to 9 pm six days a week, a schedule widely used at tech companies－has sparked public debate, with some industry insiders calling it a "³".

 

the issue of overworking employees is getting worse, said li guohua, a member of the 13th national committee of the chinese people's political consultative conference, pointing out that the absence of official supervision and protection by ⁴ unions has led to the current situation.

 

"some companies require employees to work more than 380 hours a month－even more than 996, under which 300 working hours a month are required," he said. "more ⁵ working schedules are ⁶ in areas including short-video sharing, online education, ride-hailing and e-commerce."

 

wang meihua, also a cppcc national committee member and deputy chief engineer at shanghai construction group, said that official work hours have also been ⁷ at companies that rely on calls or instant messaging services for their business. for such enterprises, some employees are required to remain on standby 24 hours a day.

 

"missing any calls or not replying to instant messages immediately will be regarded as a ⁸ of duty "that has led some to lose their jobs, wang said.

 

li urged authorities to pay more attention to the problem while enhancing regulations to protect workers' ⁹.

 

the problem is complex.

 

on the one hand, authorities have made some headway. in november 2019, the ¹⁰ of human resources and social security released a labor contract guideline stating that work time is not allowed to exceed eight hours a day or 40 hours a week.

 

work time can be stretched after ¹¹, but ¹² should not exceed one hour a day in general or three hours a day in special circumstances. further, no more than 36 working hours can be added over a one-month period, according to the guideline.

 

"the nation's high-quality development is an endurance race, driven by the labor force's physical and psychological health," said lyu guoquan, also a member of the cppcc national committee.

 

"valuing people and protecting their health is the right way to generate fortunes."
