A Shenzhen worker was asking for his wage payment through various channels. Yet, govt departments were shirking their responsibilities & no officer's willing to help. What he demand was his hard-earned wages, but was being neglected until the arbitration. https://t.co/RiHwFBVpko

An https://t.co/frb92Ljna0 worker set himself on fire for unpaid wages. Protection towards those workers is insufficient as the company doesn't directly sign a contract with them.The working schedule is also harsh on them with only a limited delivery time. https://t.co/8A1yZVLt43

The death of a Pinduoduo employee triggered netizens' blame over the company's "996" work hrs. Such brutal rule demands employees to work extra hard, yet disregards their rights. Govt should closely monitor companies to prevent the same tragedy happening. https://t.co/ZUIlyNI2N4

China's pension lacks funds because the population is aging & people aren't paying for it. In our recent report, we found that employees don't have sufficient social security knowledge and enterprises're unwilling to pay in order to save cost. https://t.co/WFeDBYTnhm

The central govt solicited opinion on increasing the retirement age. Female workers aged 40 & male workers aged 50 can only establish temporary pension account. Will govt relax such restriction for them to enjoy higher pension amount in their working city? https://t.co/U91kWxUAuz

State Council announced 30 million poor workers were employed during the 13th Five-Year Plan. But this doesn't mean workers're fully protected.They're forced to work overtime to make ends meet. Raising employment rate isn't enough to reduce workers' burden.https://t.co/OfFqbD9ItE

27 years ago today, a fire broke out at Zhili Factory in Shenzhen. This sped up the promulgation of China's Labor Law. The govt should learn from the past & ensure the safety of the workers who've been contributing for the country's economic growth.

Today's the 50th anniversary of the death of Chun Tae-il. He's only 22 years old when he committed suicide to accuse workers oppression. This awakened workers' sense of resistance. Here's our published book about him for more details:

Starbucks and Tesco agreed to pay a group of Burmese migrant workers making their aprons and bags in Thailand! We are urging Disney and NBCUniversal to do the same to ensure workers' rights. https://t.co/wHSgUdxR8Q

A mandatory vacation system will be implemented in Shenzhen next year. Now, many employers aren't following the labor law by introducing the "996" work model. Whether employers will comply with this new regulation requires strong government enforcement. https://t.co/aEAOk9Yaum

The Supreme Court issued a document supporting Shenzhen Court’s response to Xi's speech during his visit to Shenzhen. How will the govt protect workers' rights in the new economy when the management of special working hours and new industries is adapted? https://t.co/ZyATZlnn7U

The online stores of some express delivery companies were suspended due to workers' strikes. Without a labor contract, it is harder for workers to claim wages. Labor relations & employment issues in the new economy are something that the govt needs to heed.https://t.co/CeeAFmaQD4

Chinese govt formulated 14th Five-Year Plan to raise people's income. Yet, it won't help if Shenzhen's minimum wage is adjusted from once in two years to once in three years, or Guangdong's minimum wage is less than 40% of its average wage. https://t.co/sVnYO1s7vx

The situation of working migrants in Burma being underpaid is alarming. Please sign the petition to urge Starbucks, Disney and NBCUniversal to endure basic rights of the workers.

Shandong court ruled employee shall compensate the company with 50% of late pay. This wasn't seen in our latest report. Yet some workers have to pay late fees on behalf of the company in exchange for its willingness for workers' social security repayment. https://t.co/mGrc4QZRgh
