2020-01-27T02:07:04.500Z


Festive days such as the Lunar New Year are not for everyone. Many grassroots migrant workers still have to work in the camp for work. Sister Yun has been working as a security guard all night for 18 years, but she has never tried to take a holiday in the New Year. Many people imagine that the security market will be able to collect a lot of profits during the New Year, and her colleagues must "continue to collapse" to go to work, but she explained that the security of the house and the mall is different, and the general co-worker is also: "I want to pay for money!" In the past year, the security has been reduced to the conflict of police and civilians in the mall from time to time. She has no choice but to make decisions on the front-line staff. She has also been arrested while working on the same job. "I'd rather work alone."

Festive days such as the Lunar New Year are not for everyone. Many grassroots migrant workers still have to work in the camp for work. Sister Yun has been working as a security guard all night for 18 years, but she has never tried to take a holiday in the New Year. Many people imagine that the security market can collect a lot of profitable cities during the New Year. The peers must “contend for work” to work, but she explained that the security of the house and the mall is different, and the general co-worker is also: "want to take money!"

Looking back over the past year, the security has been reduced to the grievances of the police and civilians in the mall from time to time. She was helpless that the front-line staff did not have decision-making power. She even tried to be arrested while working on the same job. Meaning, "would rather just work casually."

Even more security, Sister Yun has been in the industry for 18 years. She has never tried to take a holiday in the Lunar New Year since joining the industry. She can only rush in every year. She will "go straight" to go to the New Year. She said that security guards have always been nervous and that there are many new immigrants in the industry. "You are so eager to return to the country when the New Year is coming. You need to do it. Mimi is better than others."

In the eyes of many people, many residential security guards made great profits during the New Year, but Sister Yun smiled bitterly. Most of the security guards actually wanted to "repay for money". She has been working as a security guard in a shopping mall for many years. .

Because of her security work, she concluded her contract in October 2019. Sister Yun ushered in a rare "free body" in recent months. She said that she was holding a rare holiday and went back to Jiangxi to celebrate the New Year with her younger brother. I do it every year. "However, the outbreak of pneumonia in Wuhan also made her afraid to return to the mainland. After planning to make a mess, Sister Yun stated quite disappointedly: "Have to wait for the next time!"

Zeng alone repelled the tattooed man

Returning to the night is not only bold, but also careful. For example, Sister Yun always had various people hang around in the mall every night. The company asked her to "take a picture" to do her homework. She was discovered by a young girl. A group of more than ten tattooed men approached her in the early hours to find her. Yun Yun wasn't shocked. She asked "you 咩" Baohao "?" And retorted reasoning. She also encountered a mother-in-law who suffered from brain degeneration, and mistakenly thought it was just "street down". It contacts the family.

In the event of conflict, the frontline security can only inform the boss without decision-making authority

Even though she was used to the "big scene", she bluntly stated that the conflict in the past half year was unexpected by security professionals. She only said that working in the estate shopping mall had less influence, but she said that the Tai Po Super City and the Tai Po Center were deeply affected, and said helplessly: "Chongmen rushed well."

A co-worker working in the relevant business district told her that if the police were not present, the protesters usually only sang and rallied, "but when they were sent out, the people walked away and went to destroy the businesses." She said that front-line security officers often have no decision-making power and can only notify their supervisors when something happens. In addition, in October last year, several security guards in Maanshan were accused of blocking office because of blocking the door to stop the police. They had the opportunity to lose their security cards due to the case. Sister Yun said that most people only receive the minimum wage and are old, so many people have resigned in the past six months and "would rather just work casually."

Entered into the industry and encountered an employer's attempt to evade severance payment

The government has set a minimum wage since 2002, but the industry is still unfair. She remembered that in addition to failing to provide MPF for her first job, the employer tried to evade severance payment. In the most recent resignation last year, the company tried to "go away" in the form of a "voluntary resignation letter" number".

According to reasoningly, Sister Yun stated clearly that "the capital will be signed," and she went through several shopping malls, explaining to more than 30 security guards that this was her right, but in the end, she had to insist and succeeded in obtaining a 40,000 yuan dismissal fee. She lamented why co-workers couldn't be as united as cleaning sisters.

She expects that the outsourcing system is unfair to security, and once a "turntable", all seniority will be wiped out. (Photo by Huang Yongyu)

Talking about the wishes for the New Year, she said that in recent years, the government has outsourced security contracts, adding benefits such as labor leave, paid leave, contract gratuity, etc. It ’s used every year, and the turntable is like breaking my seniority. All people have to re-calculate. ”It is hoped that the government ’s promotion to Hong Kong ’s security will also benefit.
