(Fighting New Crown Pneumonia) CPPCC National Committee members and experts call for epidemic prevention to strictly prohibit "regional discrimination"
China News Agency, Beijing, March 24th. At present, the spread of the new national crown pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan, the main battlefield in the country, has been basically stopped, and China is actively and orderly to resume work and resume production. However, it is not easy for Hubei employees to resume work. Many CPPCC members and experts have called for epidemic prevention according to law and "territorial discrimination" is strictly prohibited.
According to the "People's Political Consultative Conference" reported on the 24th, Hubei is China's largest exporter of labor services, with about 6 million migrant workers in the province. Recently, as the epidemic situation in the country continued to improve, many low-risk areas in Hubei announced the unblocking, and governments at all levels have also organized "point-to-point, one-stop" chartered cars to help Hubei employees return to their original working cities.
However, some media reported that many Hubei counties and cities had their buses hired at high-speed toll stations near their destination cities, but were advised to return or were unable to get off the expressway; some companies did not allow Hubei employees to return to work, and even Hubei employees were dismissed. No understanding of employment.
Faced with this situation, Lu Xiaoming, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and deputy dean of the School of Law of Guangdong University of Finance and Economics, said that some units did not allow Hubei employees to return to work and return to work due to unfounded concerns. They refused to hire or even fired Hubei employees at will. Violations of labor laws constitute employment discrimination.
Lu Xiaoming pointed out that China has strict control and inspection and quarantine procedures. Workers coming out of Hubei either have no new crown pneumonia epidemic for a long time or they have passed strict quarantine and their health is guaranteed. The fear that Hubei people will carry and spread the new crown virus is groundless, so it is extremely unfair to discriminate against Hubei workers.
Li Zhengguo, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and vice chairman of the Sichuan Lawyers Association, said that employment discrimination has even expanded to workers with "Hubei nationality or recent work experience in Hubei", which has evolved into serious "regional discrimination."
Li Zhengguo believes that in the eradication of "regional discrimination" in employment, the rule of law can never and will not be absent. We must strengthen the rule of employment discrimination with a better legal system, safeguard the equal employment rights of workers, and protect against uninfected and physical examinations. Qualified, or cured, Hubei nationalities or workers with a history of working in Hubei should grant them equal employment opportunities. They must not hold regional prejudice or "discrimination" in the name of "epidemic prevention."
After the outbreak, the relevant departments used the big data cloud platform to promote the use of health codes in Hubei to show the health status of the applicants.
Li Huacheng, member of the Committee of the People's Revolutionary Committee of Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, and deputy dean of the Yangtze University Law School of Hubei Province, said that the health code is an important proof of personal health.
Li Huacheng believes that it is extremely unnecessary and irresponsible to persuade Hubei people who return to work with a health code, and refuse to get off the highway. It is a waste of scarce social resources, has no basis for law, and is suspected of violating the personal freedom of citizens. right. (Finish)
