The second major event (Zhejiang Jiaxing detected a large sales of counterfeit registered trademarks): Zhejiang Jiaxing police successfully detected a case of selling counterfeit brand cemented carbide tools. After careful investigation, the police smashed 19 production, sales and storage dens, and arrested 15 criminal suspects, involving more than 10 million yuan. The case arose from a company that purchased counterfeit Zhuzhou Diamond brand carbide cutting blades online and subsequently reported the case. The police set up a joint task force to investigate the case, and finally found out the production, supply, and marketing links of the gang involved. In the following operation, the police smashed a number of dens, seized a large number of counterfeit knives and packaging boxes, and successfully destroyed this black industry chain of manufacturing and selling counterfeit brand cemented carbide knives.
The third major event (Shanghai continues to empower public institutions): The Shanghai Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau issued two documents, respectively, on the management of professional and technical positions in transportation, water and marine institutions. These documents further empower public institutions to decentralize power and provide them with more flexibility. According to the new regulations, for high-level talents who are in short supply and urgently needed, they can apply for the establishment of ad hoc posts, and are not subject to the restrictions on the total number of permanent posts, the grade and the proportion of the structure. Some talents can exceed the proportion of the senior position structure in their unit. For units with small scale, few personnel and scattered personnel, or units with similar professional fields and frequent personnel exchanges, the overall planning of post setting can be carried out. Some units are expected to receive additional incentives, such as undertaking major scientific research projects, obtaining scientific and technological awards, etc. Shanghai will continue to delegate power to public institutions in terms of talent introduction, incentives, evaluation, training, and use, so as to stimulate their innovation and creativity.
The fourth major event (the Sichuan judicial administrative system recovered 210 million yuan in arrears of wages or economic losses for migrant workers last year): In 2023, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Justice completed more than 14,000 legal aid cases for migrant workers through various measures, helped migrant workers recover 210 million yuan in arrears of wages or economic losses, and mediated more than 17,000 labor disputes and more than 5,100 disputes involving migrant workers. In order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Justice has adopted measures such as legal popularization, rule of law services, people's mediation and legal aid, and has strengthened cooperation with departments such as human resources and social security, housing and construction, and trade unions. They also carried out a number of special actions, set up a team of legal service lawyers, carried out legal publicity activities, and conducted spot checks and physical examinations on the signing of labor contracts by enterprises. They also assist in resolving labor relations conflicts and disputes through conflict investigation and dispute resolution activities. In the new year, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Justice will continue to strengthen the work of popularizing the law, legal services, people's mediation and legal aid, so as to protect the rights and interests of migrant workers in labor remuneration.
The fifth major event (Chongqing will provide six services to ensure that migrant workers return to their hometowns with peace of mind and warm hearts): Xie Xin, deputy director of the Chongqing Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, said that in order to allow migrant workers to return to their hometowns with peace of mind, warm hearts for the holidays, and return to work comfortably, the local government will provide six aspects of precise services.
