Guangzhou Company Prohibits Management from Buying Ideal Cars or Dismissal
Recently, a company in Guangzhou issued a notice stating that "the management of the company is prohibited from purchasing Ideal Cars or commuting Ideal Cars. According to the" Human Resources Management System ", if these behaviors are found, they will be dismissed." This news has sparked heated discussions.
Upstream news reporters have noticed that the relevant notice shows that the signing unit is Guangzhou Mike Industrial Co., Ltd. The relevant screenshots also have the company's seal, and the notice also includes content such as "Recently, Ideal Automobile maliciously plagiarized our company's rear tent patent...".
On the 11th, according to public information, upstream news reporters contacted Guangzhou Mike Industrial Co., Ltd. A staff member stated that after investigation and inquiry, the notice was indeed issued by the company. At present, the notice has not caused much waves within the company. Because this notice is aimed at the management, not at everyone in the company. People who have a car purchase demand may pay attention, but those who already have a car may not consider it. As for other details, we will receive a detailed response from the company's dedicated personnel later.
Regarding this, upstream news reporters contacted the Panyu District Human Resources and Social Security Bureau in Guangzhou. The relevant staff stated that it is illegal to dismiss employees at will, depending on the situation. Relevant personnel can also file complaints and reports to 12345.
Lawyer Zhang Gongdian, Senior Partner and Director of the Supervisory Board of Chongqing Zhihezhi Law Firm, stated that if the above notice is true, it is suspected of violating the law. From the perspective of labor law, this violates the normal right of workers to work. From the perspective of the Consumer Rights Protection Law, according to the provisions of this law, consumers have the right to independently decide whether to purchase or not to purchase any kind of goods, accept or not to accept any service; Consumers have the right to fair trade and have the right to refuse compulsory trading behavior, therefore the above notice infringes on consumers' autonomous purchasing rights. Therefore, the company's provision that "if an employee purchases an ideal car, they will be dismissed" is invalid; But the reward for encouraging the purchase of a certain brand of car, as it does not involve infringement on both workers and consumers, belongs to a reward system and is effective.
On the 11th, Ideal Automobile also responded to upstream news reporters by stating that the rear tent provided by Ideal Automobile was purchased from a third-party supplier, and the product was not designed or produced by Ideal Automobile, and there was no malicious plagiarism of patents from others. After verification by the supplier of Ideal Automobile and the rear tent, there is currently no judicial ruling that the product constitutes patent infringement.
