According to a March 4 release from Rights Defense, Chen Tianhe, a Beijing-based delivery courier, was recently arrested by Beijing police for organizing a peer-to-peer boycott of employers’ efforts to squeeze the labor rights of riders. Also arrested were a number of couriers with close ties to Chen Tianhe.
According to reports, during the Spring Festival, many take-away couriers in Beijing in order to support their families and the authorities Epidemic prevention and control regulations in place for the New Year, stay in Beijing to continue to work. But “hungry”, “Meituan” and other takeaway platforms by setting extra, can not complete the huge workload, so that the courier can not complete the task is deducted from the bonus. For this reason, Chen Tianhe publicly voiced his doubts, and called on his peers to boycott.
In addition to his public resistance to oppression by management, Chen Tianhe’s arrest is widely believed to be the result of his formation of the “Delivery Riders Alliance” group, which has contacted tens of thousands of riders and has effectively become a “union” and rights organization for delivery riders, thus raising fears among the Chinese Communist Party. The group has effectively become a “union” and rights organization for delivery riders, thus causing fear among the Chinese Communist Party authorities. While Chen Tianhe was being arrested, Meituan delivery riders in Shenzhen were also on strike against the company’s unilateral reduction of delivery prices for riders.
According to the Rights Defense Network, the “Jiashi workers’ rights defense” and Chen Tianhe’s arrest in 2018 both show that when laborers fight for their legitimate rights and interests, they are invariably suppressed by the authorities. The CCP’s actions have completely torn down the false banner of its so-called “working class leadership” and revealed to the world its true face of fear and suppression of labor.
