津巴布韦:随着对新冠病毒的恐惧与日俱增,矿业公司的工人声称受到虐待和不人道的待遇

[此翻译由企业责任资源中心提供]

“中国矿业公司出现新冠恐慌”, 2020年3月22日

位于格伦代尔(Glendale)的中国矿业公司在新冠恐慌中强迫工人们在矿区呆了三天。离开矿区的员工被停职两个月。公司总经理(被称为“大老板”)说,公司与自愿留在矿区的工人开了一个会,工人留在矿区是为了避免被感染。

“我们采取这种临时措施是为了防止工人被感染。你应该听说了,南非的新冠疫情很严重,我们不想让工人把病毒带到这里来,”他说。被问到工人停职的问题时,“大老板”表示,在管理层作出决定后,工人可以回来上班。“管理层会作出决定,我们没有解雇他们,他们只是停职。津巴布韦总统都要求关闭学校,我们关闭工厂没什么问题。”

接受采访的工人对此表示不满,认为受到了虐待。“那些中国人虐待我们。新冠疫情在中国很严重,在津巴布韦并不严重,他们却三天不让我们外出。我们被迫住在拥挤的厂房里,”一名工人匿名说道。另一名工人说,他曾对管理人员说想回家和家人待在一起,随后就被停职了。“我被停职是因为我要求见家人,他们让我在工作和家庭之间做选择,我选择了后者。这是一种侵权行为。”另一名工人说。
