It is reported that Wal-Mart was severely fined 800 million yuan. What is the reason?

The degree of civilization of a society depends on how it treats its social vulnerable groups, including some old people, women, children and the disabled. They are regarded as vulnerable groups and deserve social protection, especially the disabled. According to media reports, Wal-Mart dismissed a disabled employee who had worked for 16 years and was severely fined 800 million RMB. Let's take a concrete look at this event.

1. Wal-Mart Wal-Mart is very famous in the United States and the world, and is called the largest employer in the world. Because of its large number of employees, Wal-Mart ranks 1 in the world and 1 in the world's top 500 companies for many years. It stands to reason that the company's relevant management and rules and regulations should be perfect, and employees should also have corresponding benefits. It is said that Wal-Mart's annual income has reached 340 million yuan, which is an amazing figure.

2. Wal-Mart was fined 800 million yuan. In order to protect the social vulnerable groups such as the disabled, the state will make relevant regulations on the employment of the disabled and pregnant women, and the company is not allowed to dismiss them at will. However, this time Wal-Mart dismissed the disabled employees who had worked in the enterprise for 16 years. It is understood that this employee is a patient with Down syndrome, because her illness requires her to have her own specific working hours, but the company arbitrarily adjusted the working hours without considering the specific needs of employees, and later dismissed the employee on the grounds of absence. Wal-Mart was fined 65.438+0.25 billion US dollars, about 800 million yuan.

Third, society should protect the disabled. Now, more and more experts believe that the causes of disability of the disabled are more social than personal. Therefore, the society should assume the responsibility of protecting the disabled groups, provide them with corresponding welfare, and must not discriminate against the disabled in work and life. However, people with disabilities are inevitably discriminated against in all aspects of society in their daily lives, and the relevant national infrastructure construction is not perfect, which requires the efforts of the whole society.
