Liu Qing (not her real name), who works at the Hohhot Stomatological Hospital, and her colleagues have recently experienced a lot of turmoil.
It turned out that the hospital suddenly asked them to sign a resignation application, and what is puzzling is that these nurses have been working in the hospital, why suddenly?
This whole thing is a bit strange.

It all started in March 2020
At that time, Hohhot Stomatological Hospital began to recruit new nurses, and Liu Qing also stood out among many applicants and officially took up her post on April 1.
Liu Qing told reporters that her job is a regular nursing job, with a salary of 1,760 yuan per month at the beginning, and after half a year, plus performance, she can get about 3,000 yuan per month.
It seems that everything is normal, but the problem is slowly being revealed.
Liu Qing said that since she started working, more than 50 nurses have been recruited in the hospital, most of whom have a bachelor's degree or less, just like her.
Surprisingly, even though they had been working in the hospital for several years, the hospital had never signed a formal employment contract with them, let alone submitted social insurance.
In August 2023, the hospital suddenly told Liu Qing and others to sign an employee resignation application form with a property management company.
The hospital explained that after signing the resignation, passing the exam, you can sign a formal contract with the hospital. At that time, everyone was confused, but they still believed the hospital's words, and as a result, they signed and resigned.
What's even more outrageous is that the resignation date on the resignation application form was actually written two months ago in June 2023.
Soon after, they signed a formal labor contract with the hospital, but the contract period was only 3 months.
"From July to September, and then from October to December, we signed two labor contracts," Liu said. This short-term contract makes them feel very insecure.
In December 2023, the hospital issued another recruitment announcement, planning to recruit 75 graduates with a bachelor's degree or above, and Liu Qing and her colleagues were not in the scope of recruitment.
By early 2024, with the expiration of two short-term contracts, Wang and others were forced to leave.
Liu Qing said: "We have worked hard for so many years, and during the new crown epidemic, we did nucleic acid, vaccination, and entered the cabin.
And now we are fired without any explanation, and we feel very unfair. ”
Subsequently, a reporter from Chinanews.com came to Hohhot Stomatological Hospital to investigate, but waited in the hospital for nearly an hour and did not wait for anyone to receive him.
There are obviously many details behind this that are worth digging into, including why the hospital suddenly fired these nurses and why they have not paid insurance for all these years.
According to lawyer Wang Yongxiang, according to the provisions of the Labor Law, the employer shall conclude a labor contract with the employee within one month from the date of employment, and if the contract is not concluded, it shall pay double wages.
If the employee does not conclude a contract after one year, it is deemed to have concluded an indefinite labor contract with the employee.
In addition, if the employer fails to pay social insurance, the employee may request for supplementary payment or file a complaint with the labor administrative department.
Ms. Liu and her colleagues are now trying to defend their rights through legal means. This incident is not only related to their personal careers, but also touches on the respect and protection of labor rights and interests in the whole society.
Hohhot Stomatological Hospital recently issued a detailed statement on the labor relations of nurses
An attempt was made to clarify some of the doubts raised in media reports and to elaborate on the specific practices and current status of the hospital in dealing with this issue.
According to the statement released by the hospital, more than 40 nurses involved originally signed labor dispatch contracts with Inner Mongolia Lido Property Service Co., Ltd. through labor dispatch.
This means that these nurses are not directly employed by Hohhot Stomatological Hospital, but are employees of Lido Property. According to the labor dispatch arrangement, Lido Property is responsible for signing employment contracts with these employees, paying wages and handling related insurance benefits.
According to the hospital's statement, the contracts of all the dispatched personnel expired on June 30, 2023, and the labor dispatch relationship between the hospital and Lido Property was terminated.
According to the needs of the work, the hospital subsequently signed two short-term labor contracts with these employees until December 31, 2023. After the expiration date, the hospital officially terminated the employment relationship with these nurses.
Regarding the demands of the nurses, the hospital said that it had taken note of it and had communicated with the nurses involved in an attempt to explain and coordinate the solution.
At the same time, 22 nurses have submitted arbitration applications to the Hohhot Labor Arbitration Court, and the hospital promises to actively cooperate with the arbitration procedure and work with the labor dispatch unit to solve the problem as soon as possible in accordance with the law to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of the nurses are safeguarded.
The hospital's statement attempts to convey a sense of responsibility and problem-solving, emphasizing that it complies with laws and regulations, and actively responds to and handles disputes involving employees' rights.
This shows that the hospital is willing to take steps to communicate and correct problems in the face of public concern and employee dissatisfaction. However, the outcome of the arbitration and the effectiveness of the actual settlement measures will be key to assessing whether the handling of this matter is fair and adequate.
Let's be blunt.
Although the operation of Hohhot Stomatological Hospital seems to be step-by-step and legal and compliant on the surface, in fact, this is a typical "formal" operation.
Employing nurses in the form of labor dispatch is essentially avoiding the additional responsibilities and costs that come with direct employment. As soon as the dispatch contract expires, the hospital can act cheaply and not renew it at will.
Let's not talk about the legal rights and wrongs, let's talk about the moral issues. These nurses have worked hard in hospitals, especially during the pandemic, and they have been on the front lines, giving their lives to serve patients.
In this way, when the contract expires, the hospital says goodbye, without even a decent explanation and compensation, where is this justice?
This is a typical throw-away, focusing on efficiency and ignoring the basic emotions and dignity of people.
And, let's look at the rhetoric of this "explanation", where the hospital and the dispatch company sing and harmonize, as if everything makes sense.
But in reality, this practice is likely to put employees in a more precarious and unprotected work environment. The fact that these nurses had to go to arbitration in order to defend their rights and interests shows that the system itself is flawed.
Workers have to fight for their rights and interests through legal means, which in itself reflects the inhumanity and unprofessionalism of the hospital in handling labor relations.
In short, this incident gives the impression that the hospital is taking advantage of the loopholes in the labor law to carry out some operations that appear to be legal on the surface, but are in fact extremely unfair to the workers.
This behavior not only harms the interests of employees, but also seriously damages the credibility and image of the hospital itself.
As a medical institution, it should show care and responsibility for employees, rather than simply using and abandoning.
It is hoped that the hospital can truly start from humanistic care, improve management strategies, and treat every employee fairly and reasonably.
