What do you think of today's hot spots
Recently, an employee noodle tasting incident occurred in Henan Xuchang Fat Donglai Food City, which has attracted widespread social attention. According to netizens, the employee squatted down to taste the noodles and stirred them in the pot without washing the chopsticks. As soon as this incident was completed, it immediately aroused public concerns about food safety and questions about the management system of Fat Donglai. Subsequently, Fat Donglai reacted quickly and fired the employee concerned. However, a number of experts and lawyers believe that this penalty is too heavy and does not comply with the principle of proportionality.
The principle of proportionality is an important principle in administrative law, which means that in addition to the premise that there is a legal basis for the exercise of administrative power, the administrative subject must also choose an appropriate way to carry it out, that is, the measures and means taken by the administrative power should be necessary and appropriate. Experts point out that dismissal is the most severe punishment for employees and should be used sparingly. In this case, the employee's conduct, although improper, did not cause an actual food safety problem, and may have been negligent rather than subjectively malicious. Therefore, the direct punishment of dismissal may be too harsh and not conducive to the harmony and stability of labor relations.
As a well-known chain catering enterprise, the strictness of its management system is beyond doubt. However, while strictly implementing the system, it should also take into account the legitimate rights and interests of employees and the long-term development of the enterprise. Lawyer Hong Guibin believes that the employee has a reasonable expectation that the employer will exercise the management right in good faith, and the company's punishment of the employee's misconduct should comply with the principle of proportionality. This means that when punishing an employee, factors such as the degree of the employee's fault, the background of the behavior, and whether the actual damage has been caused should be comprehensively considered, so as to avoid excessive and heavy penalties.
In addition, experts also pointed out that enterprises should pay attention to the training and education of employees when formulating and implementing management systems. By strengthening the training of employees on food safety awareness and improving the professionalism and sense of responsibility of employees, the occurrence of similar incidents can be fundamentally prevented. At the same time, enterprises should also establish and improve internal supervision mechanisms to detect and correct employee misconduct in a timely manner to ensure food safety and corporate reputation.
For the employees involved, this incident is undoubtedly a profound lesson. Although the punishment for dismissal may be too severe, it also reminds all employees to be vigilant at all times at work and strictly follow the company's rules and regulations and food safety requirements. At the same time, for other businesses, the incident is also a wake-up call. While pursuing economic benefits, food safety and the legitimate rights and interests of employees must not be neglected. Only by adhering to the concept of people-oriented and harmonious development can we achieve the sustainable development of enterprises and the harmony and stability of society.
In short, the incident of Fat Donglai employees tasting noodles has aroused widespread concern about food safety and enterprise management in the society. When dealing with similar incidents, enterprises should follow the principle of proportionality, use penalties prudently, and strengthen employee training and internal supervision to ensure food safety and the long-term development of the enterprise. At the same time, we should also work together to strengthen food safety supervision and publicity and education, and jointly safeguard the health and life safety of the people.
