The Wuhan Evening News was recently visited by the employees of a local community health center.
Insisting on anonymity, the employees told the newspaper about the unfair treatment they received at their workplace. At the beginning of August, the Wulidun Community Health Center organized a charity event and called on employees to donate to the needy. Eight employees refused to donate, but most of the over 60 staff members contributed some money, which amounted to about 600 yuan in total. The director of the health center told the paper that the center received a 3,000 yuan quota from his superiors. The shortfall was covered using the center’s funds. However, the center director and party secretary were surprised by employees’ reluctance to donate, so they decided to encourage a spirit of charity by rewarding those employees who did donate.
On August 18, the center announced that everyone who donated would receive a reward of twice the amount of their donations. As a result, the employees who didn’t donate were unable to share in the 1,200 yuan handed out by the center, and eventually came to the newspaper to complain.
