Have you noticed that the so-called labor shortage is not because there are no workers in the factory, but because of the lack of cheap labor? What the factory boss expects is that workers who work 12 hours a day in a row, can work as conscientiously as a homemaker, dedicate themselves without compensation, work hard, and do not require five insurances and one housing fund, and whose monthly salary is only two or three thousand yuan.
This phenomenon of labor shortage actually reflects a kind of social pathology. Factory bosses expect workers beyond the limits of human beings, treating them as machines, not flesh and blood. They want workers to work endlessly, asking for nothing in return, just for that meager income.
However, they forget that workers also have families, relatives, and dreams. They also need rest, they need to enjoy life, they need to live with dignity. Their work should not only be for survival, but also for the realization of self-worth and the pursuit of a better life.
This phenomenon of labor shortage is actually a kind of social regression. In a modern society, we should respect every worker, their rights and dignity. They should be given reasonable working hours, reasonable wages, and reasonable social security.
We can't help but ask, is this labor shortage really just because of a lack of labor? Isn't it because our society does not give workers the respect and protection they deserve?
We hope that our society can give more respect and care to workers, so that every worker can live with dignity. We hope that our society can establish a sound social security system, so that every worker can enjoy the rights and interests they deserve.
Let's work together for a fairer, more just, and more humane society.
