发帖数: 248 | 1 SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Shanghai Husi Food, the U.S.-owned Chinese food
supplier at the center of a meat safety scandal, won a court case earlier
this year against a former quality control officer whose claims included
that he was made to forge meat production dates.
Wang Donglai, who worked at Shanghai Husi Food from 2007 to 2013, sought
around 38,000 yuan ($6,100) in compensation for damage to his health from
exposure to chlorine used as a cleaning agent by the meat processor. He also
sought to terminate his contract at Shanghai Husi, claiming he was forced
to work overtime and made to do "unethical work" that violated food safety
laws, court documents showed.
At his hearing last October, Wang said he was unwilling to illegally forge
dates at the plant, adding that he repeatedly urged his employer to change a
practice which he said violated food safety laws and hurt consumer
interests, according to court documents seen by Reuters. He said Shanghai
Husi, which is owned by privately-held Illinois-based OSI Group, ignored his
pleas.
Wang could not be reached for comment. His lawyer in the case declined to
comment.
The Shanghai Jiading District Court ruled against Wang in January, saying
his health was normal based on records provided by his employer. The judge
dismissed Wang's claims about forced overtime, and dismissed the claims over
forged production dates due to lack of evidence, the court papers showed.
Xia Yugang, a lawyer who represented Shanghai Husi in the case, said it was
an individual labor dispute rather than a food safety issue. Xia, who no
longer represents Shanghai Husi, said he did not know if the company ever
followed up on Wang's allegations. "I believe Husi has sufficiently learned
its lesson (from the current scandal) and if it wants to survive it
certainly needs to improve its standards," he told Reuters. | U**8
