Reporters visit the labor market, sneak into recruitment groups, and discriminate against people who have recovered from the new crown more hidden?
The phenomenon that people who have recovered from COVID-19 encountered job-seeking discrimination has attracted much attention from the society. What is the situation now?
From July 18th to 19th, surging journalists visited 9 labor intermediary units and some employment companies in Songjiang District, Shanghai, and found that discrimination still exists. In the actual recruitment, he also said that "you don't want to be too positive".
Unequal hiring is even more hidden.
The reporter saw in six recruitment WeChat groups that the recruitment information seldom stated that people who had recovered from the new crown were not required, but when it came to telephone consultation and interviews, the once "positive" identity began to trouble job seekers again.
Pan Shuhong, a representative of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress and a lawyer from Shanghai Hengjian Law Firm, called on the labor supervision department to enforce the law more strictly. ".
Discrimination still exists: "There are not too many jobs now"
"I'm looking for a job, how many jobs are there?" On July 18, in the Dafeng Living Area at No. 168 Nanle Road, Songjiang District, a reporter walked into Songpin Employment Agency to ask.
Two labor intermediaries sat at the counter, and the walls were covered with various recruitment notices.
"More, hundreds of factories, see what you want to do." A labor agency said, getting up and preparing to introduce.
The reporter asked: "Have you passed the sun?"
At this time, the labor agency paused for a few seconds, looked up and down at the reporter and said, "Have you passed your life, right? There are not many jobs (available)."

Another labor intermediary was busy in front of the computer. He raised his head and said, "Now only Dafeng wants Yang Guo, and Pegatron in Pudong also wants, (we are here) these two." Then he started to recommend, and entered Dafeng ( Computer Co., Ltd.) is very good, and the salary is high. After the epidemic, Dafeng’s overtime pay on weekdays and weekends is a lot higher than before the epidemic.
The reporter asked, why can Jindafeng and Pegatron do it, but not other companies?
The labor agency said that Dafeng and Pegatron employ a large amount of labor, recruiting hundreds of people every day, and they don’t mind whether employees have entered the cabin. “But other companies can’t ask for so many people, and it doesn’t matter if there are one more or one less.” To reduce the risk of the epidemic, many companies restrict the recruitment of people who have recovered from the new crown.
The government expressly stipulates that it is strictly forbidden to discriminate in employment against people who have recovered from a positive nucleic acid test for the new coronavirus.
The labor intermediary is also clear about this, "It is not our intermediary who rejects people who have entered the cabin, but the company that does not want it." The above-mentioned labor agency said, "What can you do if the company does not buy it?"
In this case, is it okay not to take the initiative to declare to the company that you are a recovered person from the new crown when applying for a job?
The labor agency smiled and said no: "He will find out, as long as he has entered the cabin, he can find out." Whether a person who has recovered from the new crown can be found through nucleic acid testing, and the second can be found by looking at the front panel. Nucleic acid test records of several months were found.
At present, the nucleic acid testing of recovered patients is different from that of the general public.
Mr. Zheng, who has recovered from the new crown, told reporters that ordinary people can complete the screening by scanning their personal nucleic acid code, but a recovering patient like him who has to use a health code and a single-person, single-tube test is easy to distinguish from others.
"I have also used the nucleic acid code to do it. I can see it when I scan it, remind me to wait by the side, and then use the health code to do it alone." He said.
The reporter visited 9 labor intermediaries in a row, and there are many discrimination in recruitment.
At Rongqian Labor Service and Anton Employment Agency located on Rongle East Road, the reporter asked and learned that there are fewer job-seeking options for people who have recovered from the new crown. Can go to Dafeng (Computer Co., Ltd.)”.

Manager Huang of Shanghai Xinyuepai Human Resources Co., Ltd. said that although the municipal government has made relevant requirements for the employment of people who have recovered from the new crown pneumonia, many companies still have concerns, and companies often refuse to reduce risks. such job seekers.

"It sounds ugly. You are in a situation alone, and the entire factory will be shut down." An intermediary of Shanghai Baoda Labor Service explained to reporters that the current epidemic situation is still fluctuating, many companies are reluctant to take risks, and most of the actual recruitment requirements are Prompt "Don't be too positive".
On July 18, a recruitment advertisement was displayed at the entrance of Shanghai Baoda Labor Service Company in Songjiang District.

There are also a few labor intermediaries with a relatively "tolerant" attitude.
The staff of the Shanghai Qiucheng Employment Agency told reporters that if it has been three months since the departure, as long as the employment conditions and epidemic prevention requirements are met, most companies are still willing to accept it.
"As long as it is the unit we recommend, it can basically be hired. If it is not used, we will inform you in advance, and we will not waste your time and go for nothing." The staff member said.
The staff at the front desk of Yinteni Talent Market of Shenbo Human Resources Group told reporters that as long as the recruitment notice does not mention "don't have a good time", it means that there is no such restriction and can participate in the recruitment process normally.

The practice is more hidden: "The company does not write it does not mean it does not"
The reporter found in interviews that the recruitment information of enterprises rarely states "don't be too masculine", and recruitment discrimination exists in a more subtle way.
The Paper reporters have joined 6 recruitment WeChat groups, and each group will post dozens to hundreds of job postings every day, most of which are odd and casual workers, including electronics factory employees, factory security guards, restaurant waiters, traffic police officers, warehouse stevedores, etc.
According to the recruitment information of a company in Fengxian, "the younger brother of Yang Guo doesn't want it".
The reporter saw that most of the recruitment information did not indicate in words that people who have recovered from the new crown are not required.
In the epidemic prevention requirements, most companies only expressly stipulate that job seekers must hold a 48-hour or 72-hour nucleic acid negative certificate and a green health code.
But when a reporter calls a labor agency to apply for a job, the other party will verbally state that the company should not enter the cabin.
"If the company doesn't write it, it doesn't mean it doesn't. You will find it out soon during the interview." A labor agency told reporters.
There are a few recruiting units that will directly indicate that they do not want people who have recovered from the new crown.
According to the news from Songpin employment agency recruitment WeChat group on July 19, Shanghai Pudong LG Electronics Factory "does not want to be too positive", and Pudong Dongbei Cai Auto Air Conditioning Parts Factory "does not want to change from yang to yin" and "does not want to be a makeshift hospital and community volunteers" ", Songjiang Feidiao Electrical Appliances requires "no positive medical history".
Cai Auto Air Conditioning Parts Factory in Dongbei Pudong said, "You don't want to change from yang to yin, but not for Fangcang shelter hospitals and community volunteers."
The recruitment requirements of Songjiang Feidiao Electrical Appliance Factory stated that "no positive medical history".
Yilisu Industrial Co., Ltd., located on Rongle East Road, Songjiang District, is recruiting warehouse managers.
The recruitment notice sent to the labor agency stated: warehouse administrator, aged 18-40 years old, hourly worker 23 yuan/hour, free accommodation only pays water and electricity bills, interviewers need to wear masks, sign up in advance, and fill in the form at the gate of the factory can then be employed.
Yilisu's epidemic prevention requirements are: "We will not accept new arrivals from other places. The itinerary code must be a green code in Shanghai within 14 days, nucleic acid within 48 hours, and the nucleic acid records of the two months will be checked on the spot."
Would the situation be different if I bypassed the labor agency and directly contacted the employer?
On July 19, the reporter called the public landline number of Yilisu online. When a receptionist learned that the reporter was applying for a warehouse manager, he said that he needed to ask the person in charge of the department, and he could leave the contact number first.
When he heard a reporter claiming to be a recovering person from the new crown, the staff member euphemistically said no, "If it is a positive patient (recovery person), we are here...for that."
A recruitment notice was posted at the entrance of a park at No. 576 Lianyang Road, Songjiang District, recruiting installation workers and industrial workers.
The reporter called the company's contact number. After the relevant person in charge learned that the person who had recovered from the new crown applied for the job, he asked the reporter when he entered the cabin, whether it was negative now, and whether he had recovered from the sun.
The reporter said that the nucleic acid is now negative, and there is no re-yang, and everything is normal.

The person in charge said that she can add her WeChat first, and follow-up matters will be contacted through WeChat.
However, as of press time, the reporter's WeChat account has not been approved twice.
Deputies to the National People's Congress: Strengthen law enforcement, scientific and precise epidemic prevention
Employment discrimination of people who have recovered from the new crown is prohibited at both the Shanghai and national levels.
On July 11, at the press conference on the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic held in Shanghai, Yin Xin, a spokesman for the Shanghai government, said that all departments and units in Shanghai should treat new crown positive recovery equally in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. shall not discriminate.
All sectors of the society should give more care and love to those who have recovered from COVID-19. They should not be labelled, set barriers in their work and life, and should not be allowed to live in the shadows they should not have.
On July 13, the executive meeting of the State Council made it clear that workers should be guaranteed equal employment rights.
It is strictly forbidden to discriminate in employment against recovered persons who have tested positive for the new coronavirus nucleic acid.
Relevant departments should strengthen labor security supervision, and deal with such discriminatory phenomena as soon as they are discovered.
"This kind of discrimination shouldn't happen at all, and I don't think it needs to be discussed too much legally." Pan Shuhong, a representative of the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress and a lawyer at Shanghai Hengjian Law Firm, said bluntly that it is obviously illegal to discriminate against people who have recovered from the new crown.
According to the "Labor Law", "Labor Contract Law", "Epidemic Prevention Law" and other laws, as well as relevant judicial interpretations, enterprises and society must not discriminate against such groups in the employment process.

Pan Shuhong believes that the labor inspection department should step up enforcement efforts to ensure equal employment rights and combat such discrimination.
Those infected with the new coronavirus are also victims. In addition to ordinary citizens, many of them are front-line anti-epidemic workers, such as community volunteers, epidemic prevention personnel and even medical staff. "Many people are representatives of positive energy."
Obstructing their normal employment makes no sense in terms of emotion, reason, and law.
Pan Shuhong also mentioned that the complete elimination of discrimination in recruitment requires joint efforts from all fields.
For employers, the biggest worry is still "Fuyang". Enterprises choose a "one size fits all" approach, which has the side of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
Regulatory authorities can consider formulating more scientific and accurate epidemic prevention gestures for corporate employment, and guide employers to truly "relax" discrimination.
From the specific operational level, a Ms. Wei, who is familiar with the labor market, told reporters that the past "medical history" of patients who have recovered from the new crown is too simple and easy to check. It is recommended that the regulatory authorities start with the protection of personal information and hide the information of the recovered personnel after leaving the cabin for a certain period of time. Positive records can avoid the discriminatory behavior of enterprises from the mechanism.
"Compared with June, there is indeed less discrimination in recruitment, but it still exists. I hope the labor market can return to normal as soon as possible." Ms. Wei said.
