Seeing that May Day is approaching, many people are immersed in the fantasy of how to play during the 5-day holiday.
But I didn't expect to be full of enthusiasm, and was led to a sentence "For everyone to have fun and have fun during the May Day holiday, I will work for 9 days this week." "Alive, poured out.
Good guy, with 5 days of vacation, two days are made up, two days are transferred, there is only 1 day of vacation left, and the workers have to be grateful to you!
Thinking back to the original May Day, it was a proper seven-day holiday!
And the reason why it became five days is completely related to a Tsinghua professor named Cai Jiming!
始作俑者
It all started in 2006, when a Tsinghua professor who had never been to class may have felt that the May 17 holiday was too long.
So, he took his research team and proposed to the Central Committee of the Democratic Progressive Party to "change the 7-day holiday from May Day to 3 days".
I really want to thank him for making this request early, if I mention it today, I believe that the majority of migrant workers will not only drown him with spittle, but also send blades and smash glass.
However, this incident really caused an uproar in the society at that time. They all inquired about which one was not eye-opening, and some netizens discussed in the post bar to investigate his old bottom.
But after all, it was only one person's opinion, and netizens at that time did not think that the relevant units would adopt his opinion! After all, soliciting the opinions of the vast majority of the people is the proper process for any decision.
Just when everyone took this as a joke, what was never expected.
The relevant departments actually issued a notice to modify the holiday, and the opinion was really adopted?
At that time, the only thing to be thankful for was that the relevant departments were afraid that too many holidays would be cut and cause public anger among the majority of migrant workers, so they found a compromise and shortened the original time to three days instead of five days.
Since then, the life of sin has begun, a full 18 years, do you know how we spent these 18 years?
The seven-day vacation has been reduced by two days to five days, and 18 years is a full 36-day vacation! If one person has 36 days, hundreds of millions of migrant workers in China will not have to lose countless days.
What is the identity of this professor? Why can he change the fate of so many people's holidays with one sentence! A netizen said, "I want all his information in three minutes."
In less than three minutes, the professor's information had already been picked up by the vast number of netizens.
It turned out that the professor's name was Cai Jiming, and he was not just a professor at Tsinghua University. He is also a member of the Financial and Economic Committee of the National People's Congress, the director of the Political Economy Research Center of Tsinghua University, and the supervisor of many doctoral students.
I have to say that he really has a lot of labels on his head.
Such an outstanding talent, in that era, naturally wanted to contribute to the country's economic construction, and he happened to study economic research.
Then lead your team after a lot of research and investigation. Cai Jiming believes that the long holiday has seriously affected work efficiency and is not conducive to the development of China's economy.
He feels that after a long vacation, workers will be slack in their thinking, and it is difficult to quickly integrate into the work after the holiday, which directly leads to low work efficiency.
In addition, a large number of workers stopped production at the same time, and the production volume was seriously reduced, which eventually affected the country's economic development.
He suggested changing the concentrated holiday of Golden Week to dispersed leave, adding some traditional festivals to statutory holidays, and fully implementing paid leave.
It wasn't that we really wanted to cut the May Day holiday, so in 2007, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a draft for comments on holiday adjustments, and finally adopted part of Cai Jiming's research topic.
Intimidated
Since the end of 2007, the May Day holiday has officially become a five-day holiday. The shortening of the holiday has caused a lot of dissatisfaction, and the majority of migrant workers have even quit, believing that the reason why the state is doing this is because of Cai Jiming's suggestion. They verbally attacked him.
Some netizens even set up a post bar to scold him! Some extreme netizens even attacked him personally through phone calls, text messages, emails, and other means. even posted a screenshot of his record scolding him in the post bar.
At that time, Cai Jiming was unbearable, because he didn't know which phone was scolding him, and which phone was really found.
As the matter fermented, some extremists even said that they would assassinate him and his family, so frightened that Cai Jiming's wife and children did not dare to admit that they knew him when they went out.
As the matter became bigger and bigger, Cai Jiming finally sued Baidu Tieba in court, he felt that the existence of Tieba leaked his information, causing himself and his family to be threatened, and at the same time, Tieba provided a platform for those abusers to abuse him, relying on his serious management failure.
He demanded that Baidu compensate him for 2 million yuan in moral damages, and although the court finally ruled in favor of him, his claim for 2 million yuan in moral damages was rejected.
Although he won the lawsuit, his original suggestion was to suffer the majority of workers, and the few holidays a year were cut off for two days, and everyone would be scratched!
The capital of all evil
Now, 16 years have passed since this incident, and the name Cai Jiming has long faded out of our field of vision. I guess many people have forgotten about this one, right?
The May Day holiday has become five days, which does not seem to be unacceptable, after all, five days is not a short time, which is enough for us workers to rest and play.
It wasn't until I don't know which clever man proposed the compensatory leave system that our vacation seemed to really "turn sour".
As a result, we were secretly swapped for a five-day holiday on May Day, and the migrant workers were asked to make up for two days of working hours in advance.
The majority of migrant workers cry to death in the toilet, you must know that the original five-day holiday, two of which are Saturdays and Sundays, are due legal rest days, that is to say, we only have 3 days of vacation in the real sense.
And now that we have two days of work in advance, doesn't it mean that we only have one day of vacation left on May Day, and the other two days are what we get in exchange for a day off!
Is this still the May Day holiday in our hearts? It is clearly a five-day holiday that the vast number of migrant workers have pieced together to make up.
And the leaders said, "This is for your own good! To give you a few more days of rest." ”
Advantage?
Of course, it is not without benefits, after all, the shortened rest time can indeed increase the speed of the country's economic construction.
At the same time, the long holiday time will definitely promote the development of the tourism economy in various places, after all, the five-day rest time, I believe there are few people
I hope to sleep at home for five more days!
According to relevant data, the tourism economy around the May Day holiday has indeed grown a lot.
However, who has considered the mood of the lowest workers?
Migrant workers go out to play during the May Day holiday, and the tourism economy is their contribution.
But what does they have to do with the country's overall economic growth, and they don't get an extra penny of wages.
And the holiday is still squeezed out by myself, and the co-author is a big grievance with money and effort!
Epilogue:
Now, 16 years later, Professor Cai Jiming is still working at Tsinghua University, holding an important position, and still contributing to the construction of the motherland.
At present, he is committed to studying the treatment of rural homesteads. His original suggestion was like the wind of the past, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with him. I don't know if he will think about it every time he is on May Day.
The holiday that migrant workers want is a real holiday, not a vacation that is exploited, and we should reflect on what causes this phenomenon.
