What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Bai Chenlin had no doubts and directly said, "Of course it was distributed on behalf, that's how it is with agencies nowadays."

"Distributed on behalf, is that right? Then may I consider that our client, Zhao Bin, signed a labor contract with a factory under Ding Sheng company, and then the company entrusted you as a third party to distribute wages?"

"Arbitrator, I hope the other party can answer this question, because it relates to whether there is an employment relationship between our client and Ding Sheng company."

That was why he had requested a hearing, to confirm the exact nature of the relationship.

Bai Chenlin felt like he had fallen into a trap. If he answers yes now, then the other party could directly approach Ding Sheng; the records of the arbitration hearing are noted by the clerk, and anything said is documented.

But he didn't understand; all the agencies here were doing the same, and no one had yet taken the time to clarify exactly what the relationship was, considering these details insignificant.

Old Tang wore a professional smile; if you're just naturally handing out money, indeed, it's unimportant. Who cares about the relationship, as long as you get paid for the work done.

However, if you really weigh it, you have to clarify; there are only so many types of employment relationships, surely you must fit at least one of them.

The arbitrator was silent, looking towards Bai Chenlin.

Qian Yehui hurriedly said, "It's not that we're entrusted, we still manage the people."

"So, it's labor dispatch, you manage the people, but they work at Ding Sheng, and you pay them, no problem there."

Bai Chenlin became anxious; he felt like no answer would be correct.

"Arbitrator, we don't know exactly what relationship this would be classified as, but... it has always been done this way, without any issues."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Bin saw Lawyer Tang's face reveal a strange smile, but it was fleeting.

Old Tang looked at the arbitrator, "Comrade arbitrator, I would really like to know what kind of relationship this is, what do you think it should be defined as?"

Fuck, the arbitrator's brain was spinning rapidly, trying to figure out what this really was.

Just by the look of the substantive performance, it appeared to be labor dispatch because the factories had resident agencies, and these agencies often managed the workers that went in.

They often went to dormitories to educate the workers properly, telling them to work obediently, because the factory's return payments required these people to work steadily for a few months before being given.

"Then... it should be considered labor dispatch," the arbitrator finally spoke.

He had never almost been at a loss for words during a hearing; it was truly outrageous.

Thinking of how he had urged mediation before, the arbitrator wanted to erase that memory...

The key problem was that this situation had persisted for a long time and no one had ever delved this deep into it.

Bai Chenlin's frown was so severe it looked like it could kill a fly; he felt he should have sought a lawyer's advice beforehand, his level of expertise was sufficient for exploiting workers but seemed insufficient in front of a lawyer.

What's most important is that he had thought coming here to mediate would be enough, but now a hearing was necessary.

Confirming it as labor dispatch made things easier. The arbitrator, not wanting to delay further, quickly declared the hearing over after completing the procedures.

No decision was made on the spot.

Bai Chenlin, with a few people, went up to Old Tang, and with a dark expression said, "So what if you win the arbitration? I just won't pay. You can keep waiting with him!"

"If you had agreed earlier, you could have gotten the money today, but now, you'll have to wait a few more months."

After speaking, Bai Chenlin left immediately, feeling upset inside, because normally he would be looking at compensating nearly twenty thousand now!

But if it had been acknowledged as entrusting a third party, then he would have seriously angered the factory, and he might never be able to do business with them again in the future.

So they could just wait. He'd wait for them to apply for enforcement before paying, just to be troublesome.

Old Tang paid no heed to the arbitrator and left with Zhao Bin, saying while they walked, "All right, let's wait. Once the arbitration decision comes, we can act."

Zhao Bin remained silent.

"I know you want to ask how this is going to be resolved, right? They definitely don't want to pay, so we need to apply for compulsory enforcement, which also takes many days."

"We can't fix procedural issues, but if we can't solve the problem, then we solve the person who raised the problem, isn't the problem then easily solved?"

Ah? Zhao Bin was again stunned, and it took him a while to say, "Lawyer Tang, are you going to take action? I mean, even if you have evidence, there's really no need..."

"What are you talking about? Do I seem like a rash person? I have a task for you!"

"Lawyer Tang, please tell me."

"I remember the first time you went to ask for money, there were four of you, right? You have their contact information, right? Contact them and tell them you can help them get the money, using your case as an example."

"By the way, ask your friends too, let everyone who has been cheated by this Chenlin Company contact you, saying you have a way to help them get their money, using you as an example as well."

"But, I need them to help with something, ask them to report to the police with us!"

"Report to the police?" Zhao Bin asked, puzzled, "Reporting to the police is useless, Lawyer Tang, we have already reported to the police before."

Old Tang said helplessly, "Is your reporting to the police the same as mine? You just go if I tell you, I want to give them a change of scenery!"

Although Zhao Bin did not quite understand what Lawyer Tang meant by a "change of scenery," he chose to trust the other party because he was about to receive almost twenty thousand in compensation.

In another part of Dongfang City, a young worker received a phone call.

"What? Help me get my money? I only lost three hundred... What, you got back almost twenty thousand? Really? Okay, no problem, when do we go, I'll definitely be there!"

Just as Old Tang had thought, for the workers, this was like a pie falling from the sky and hitting them right on the head.

Being short-changed a few hundred yuan, they had already resigned themselves to bad luck, but now someone was saying that as long as they prepare the relevant chat records and transfer records, they could get even more money!

Of course, they had to go, even if it meant taking leave or quitting their jobs, especially since Zhao Bin was about to get nearly twenty thousand.

At the same time, Zhao Bin, following Old Tang's plan, set up a sign in the labor market, clearly stating: If you have been cheated by Chenlin Company, please contact me.

Lawyer Tang Fangjing will preside for free and can help get your wages back.

Just this sentence directly disrupted the entire labor market.

Bai Chenlin, upon hearing the news, almost passed out from shock. He had anticipated that the other party might use some tactics, but he did not expect such a strategy!

Short-changing one person a few hundred is nothing, but what about ten people? A hundred people?

When an agency provides workers to a factory, they deliver dozens at a time, and that's quite a sum of money.

The thought of someone helping them to claim their money for free? Madness, utter madness!

Bai Chenlin believed he couldn't just sit around waiting for death, and quickly went to consult a lawyer and got a suggestion.

"Free legal proceedings? You can complain to their local Lawyers Association; it will be very effective. Offering free legal proceedings is a very serious form of unfair competition, and the Lawyers Association imposes severe penalties!"

That same day, Bai Chenlin went online to submit a complaint to the Jingzhou Lawyers Association...

Two days later, the relevant arbitration ruling came down, and Old Tang looked at it, satisfied with the words Bai Chenlin had said, and nodded approvingly.

"Hello, Zhao Bin, how's the collection going? Oh, you've got over thirty people? That's enough. Tell them to come to the hotel where I'm staying this afternoon and bring out all the chat records."

"Then tomorrow morning, we'll all go to the Guanning Sub-bureau to report the case together. Got it?"

The crime of illegal operations mainly regulates activities that disrupt market order.

So the question is, does engaging in substantial labor dispatch activities without a specialized permit for labor dispatch and intentionally illegally deducting multiple workers' wages constitute a serious disruption of market order?

Are labor markets not markets too?
