The 996 model has helped the multinational capital based in China to defeat the European and American local enterprises who go to work four and a half days a week;
996, so that young people in China have no time to fall in love, get married and have children, even if they live in a free palace;
996 is the short board of the world, which leads to the working class’s bottomless involution in the global environment. The American stress reaction elected Trump, and the world is falling into the economic order chaos caused by 996.
996, a serious violation of the Labor Law, should be resolutely banned …
Compared with 996, nine to five is people’s happiness!
01 the arduous starting point of the brilliant road
The important node of China’s great rejuvenation is at the time when China joined the WTO.
-On November 15th, 1999, China and the United States reached an agreement on China’s entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), and China struggled to pass the biggest barrier of its entry into the WTO. On November 10th, 2001, the Fourth Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization (WTO) made a decision to admit China to the WTO.
Since then, China’s economy has really taken off, productivity has been released, world resources have been fully mobilized by the dollars earned by China, and new production relations have sprouted in China.
Since that year, Alibaba and JD.COM have gradually risen.
Then Baidu, as well as various new enterprises in the Internet era, gradually entered people’s field of vision.
These enterprises can be said to have been bought by China workers and peasants with dollars earned by exporting primary agricultural products at low prices. And what do these internet companies use to reward workers and farmers who work overtime and get low wages?
-of course, it is the same overtime.
From workers and peasants to white-collar workers, everyone works overtime, forming a more cruel 996 working mode than ever before, a brand-new production relationship.
It is also said that this new production relationship is 996. (Of course, this is an unofficial interpretation. )
It’s not long before the 40-hour working day came around.
Nowadays, many people who support the planned economic relations of production miss everything before the reform and opening up.
There was no 996 at that time. At that time, the working system was nine to five.
Go to work at nine o’clock in the morning and get off work at five o’clock in the evening. In order to make preparations before starting work, workers arrive at their posts half an hour in advance, forming a work system from 8: 30 am to 5: 00 pm.
We can also see this timetable on the gates of some post offices and banks. This timetable is an "intangible cultural heritage" in the era of planned economy.
996 is not the production relationship of planned economy, nor is it the harmonious state that people expect.
-Socialist relations of production are five-day working days, eight hours a day. This is the need for China to conform to the international prevailing mode, and it is also clearly stipulated by the laws and decrees of China.
Before 1994, the legal working hours of workers in China were 8 hours a day, 6 days a week and only one day off. According to the Labor Law passed in 1994, the state implements a working-hour system in which workers work no more than eight hours a day and no more than 44 hours a week on average.
On March 25, 1995, Li Peng, then Prime Minister of the State Council, signed Order No.174 of the State Council, promulgating the Decision of the State Council on Amending the Provisions of the State Council on Working Hours of Employees. Article 3 reads: The state implements a working hour system in which employees work 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week on average. Implemented as of May 1, 1995.
This working system of 8 hours multiplied by 5 days was actually brewed for joining the WTO.
In 1986, China began to apply for "GATT"; In early 1988, the Feasibility Study of day five was completed; At the end of 1990, it was formally proposed to the state. This led to the initial trial of worship in March 1994.
On January 1, 1995, the WTO was formally established. In the same year, China became an observer country, and in the same year, China officially implemented a double holiday.
It is a necessary prerequisite for China to join the WTO to implement the working system of 8 hours multiplied by 5 days. It is precisely because of the implementation of this working system in China that other countries accept that China is a market subject that participates in international competition with the same working hours per week, and that it is a country that can compete fairly at the level of productivity, and that China has the possibility to sit at the negotiating table of joining the WTO.
Taiwan businessman Guo Taiming is famous for 996.
Contrary to expectations, what no one expected was that after joining the WTO, China’s state-owned enterprises with weekend and 40-hour working system did not bring trouble to developed countries. However, the large-scale rise of various enterprises controlled by foreign capital and private capital has become a nightmare in Europe and America.
Why is it not a nightmare for Japan and South Korea? Because Japan and Korea are also 996 …
In fact, China’s 996 work arrangement was probably brought by Taiwanese capital. This move by Taiwan capital may also be learned from Japan and South Korea.
Remember the case of Foxconn jumping off a building in succession that shocked the whole country in 2010? Some young people working in Foxconn, a Taiwanese company, ended their young lives by jumping off buildings in despair because of pressure or loss of hope in life.
Since then, Guo Taiming, the boss of Taiwan-funded enterprises, has become the representative of 996, and this working mode (production relations) has also been deeply branded with the oppression of workers by capital.
At that time, Apple had not yet developed the IPHONE, and Guo Taiming, who later made a name for himself by manufacturing mobile phones for Apple, first became famous throughout the country as "996".
Trump phenomenon in 04 or stress reaction in 996
There should be no dispute that the United States and China once had an economic honeymoon.
At that time, Taiwanese businessman Guo Taiming had not conquered American Apple with the 996 "Youth Sacrifice" of China workers.
The success of typical American enterprises such as Apple and Wal-Mart is largely based on the 996 Youth Festival of China youth. The transnational oppression of these big capitalists and multinational enterprises has won their own success, but also deeply hurt the youth in China and the workers in the United States.
The harm to young people in China not only makes some young people jump off a building in despair, but also makes all the young people who won the 996 "blessing" have no spare time to fall in love, get married and have children. We’ll talk about this later. Now that we’re talking about Apple, let’s talk about America first.
The last president of the United States was Trump supported by American unemployed workers. The election of Trump as president is a counterattack by American workers against the American and Japanese capitalists who promoted "996" in China. Guo Taiming and Ma Yun took investments from the United States and Japan, representing the interests of American and Japanese capitalists.
-or unemployed or forced to 996, under the prisoner’s dilemma manipulated by transnational capital groups, American workers and China workers share common interests and common enemies.
Apple, Foxconn, Wal-Mart, Amazon, Taiwanese companies and Japanese companies that supply them, Hong Kong capitalists with British passports and bosses with various passports who come back from the United States to open factories-these people control the labor wages and job opportunities of workers in China and the United States. Live for the slave, and lose the job for the disobedient.
It is these people who openly carry out the "996" working mode in China, using various means to induce workers to work overtime, to extract the surplus value of workers, to suppress price competition in the international arena, to obtain excess profits, to squeeze European and American enterprises, and objectively to cause a series of evil consequences such as the deterioration of Sino-US relations.
However, China is not a capitalist China, and China is an extremely correct country led by the vanguard of the working class, allowing 996 to flood. This kind of realistic space and legal space does not exist.
We must have confidence in this.
The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time.
Once upon a time, young people in China sang "The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time" to fight against Japanese imperialist aggression. Today, this threat of aggression has almost completely disappeared. This is because Japan’s extremely low birth rate has greatly reduced the number of young people in Japan, and there will be a steady stream of "self-confidence" for young people to join, and they are gone.
However, China, the most dangerous time for the Chinese nation, has quietly arrived.
In the era of the popularization of 996 working mode, young people in China ran to work in the company as soon as they opened their eyes in the morning. After dark, they still enjoyed what Ma Yun said was the blessing of 996, and they had no time to develop their personal interests and talk about a vigorous love affair.
In order to complete the task of marriage, the orientation of marriage has degenerated from the inevitable result of free love to a business that can efficiently complete the task of life. This is the modern social foundation of the sky-high bride price.
In 2020, the newly born population in China will be 10.03 million, which is two-thirds of that of the previous year, half of that of a decade ago and one-third of that of the peak population decades ago. The Chinese nation is in a great crisis.
None of the young people who work overtime really volunteered. Of course, they dare not denounce 996 under the eyes of HR, and can only talk about topics unrelated to the company such as high housing prices.
A fact reveals the aspiration of young workers in China: the change of Ma Yun’s reputation from prosperity to decline happened just after he said "996 is a blessing".
Perhaps this is real public opinion, real big data. He was then abandoned like the grain transport officer of Prime Minister Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Well, that’s interesting.
06 resolutely ban 996 according to law, we can’t wait.
According to the foregoing, China’s Labor Law and the State Council Order clearly stipulate that China implements a modern civilized working system of 40 hours, five days a week.
At one time, local labor bureaus had a subordinate department called the Labor Inspection Brigade. Once an enterprise violates the employment system, goes beyond working hours and fails to get insurance, it will be investigated and punished by the labor inspection brigade, fined, and compensated according to law. At present, the establishment of the labor inspection brigade is still there, but it is not so determined to carry out its tasks-Alibaba, Foxconn, JD.COM and Pinduoduo are there, and those Internet "big factories" whose employees "voluntarily" work overtime are there. I haven’t heard of any of them being investigated for this.
When did all this start?
In fact, we know exactly when to start:
-After 2008, when the Labor Law clearly stipulated the employee welfare system enjoyed by all employees according to law, as a counter to this welfare system, many private enterprises across the country imitated Foxconn and Alibaba … and started the wave of 996 working mode. Before that, only a few big capitalists with Japanese and American capital backgrounds, such as Guo Taiming and Ma Yun, promoted 996 in this enterprise.
Now, vaguely, 996 has become the consideration for many private enterprises to pay social security for their employees. The state has made great concessions in the past decade in order to promote social security for all employees of enterprises. This concession has completed the historical task: social security for enterprise employees has been basically popularized.
It’s time to strengthen the function of labor inspection! Take the initiative to attack and severely punish overtime work, and we must do our best to eliminate the evil 996.
Green mountains and green waters are Jinshan Yinshan,
Nine to five is people’s happiness.
Isn’t it? !
