Recently, a news about a female intern student angrily scolding the leader because of overtime has attracted widespread attention. With a monthly salary of only 2,000 yuan and five months of internship, the girl bravely said "no" to the unreasonable overtime requirements. She insisted that she had not signed a deed of sale, and that the internship contract should not be a fig leaf for exploitation.
It is understood that the girl began to intern in a company at the end of last year, and the original contract stated a three-month internship period, but five months later, she still has not received a notice of regularization. What's even more infuriating is that the company also requires her to accept long hours of overtime unconditionally. After many fruitless communications, she finally decided to stand up and fight for her rights.
Internship is an important way for college students to get in touch with society and accumulate practical experience, but in reality, many interns face various injustices. They are often afraid to say "no" to unreasonable treatment because of their lack of experience and legal awareness. But this girl's courageous actions undoubtedly set an example for the majority of interns.
First of all, let's be clear that overtime is not an obligation for interns. The working hours and benefits should be clearly stated on the internship contract, and if the company unilaterally asks for overtime, then the intern has every right to refuse. After all, internships are about learning and gaining experience, not about becoming a free workforce in a company.
Secondly, for the company, the interns should be given enough respect and care. Although interns are in the learning stage, they are also employees of the company and need to be treated fairly. If the company only blindly exploits the labor of interns, it will not only affect the motivation and enthusiasm of the interns, but also damage the image and reputation of the company.
In addition, we need to rethink the current internship system. Why are interns exploited? Why do interns dare not speak up in the face of injustice? Is there an institutional loophole behind this? Therefore, we need to further improve the internship system, clarify the rights and obligations of interns, and strengthen the protection of interns.
At the same time, we also call on the majority of interns to enhance their legal awareness and learn to protect their rights and interests. In the face of injustice, do not choose to remain silent, but bravely stand up for your rights. Only in this way can we jointly promote the improvement of the internship system and allow more interns to receive fair treatment.
All in all, the courageous actions of the intern girls are a wake-up call for us. We should recognise that interns' rights and interests also need to be protected, and that overtime is not a deed of sale. It is hoped that this incident will arouse more people's attention and reflection, and jointly speak up for the rights and interests of interns. At the same time, it is also hoped that the majority of interns can bravely protect their rights and interests, not be bound by unfair treatment, and make the internship an experience full of harvest and growth.
