Minor Fired After Unloading at STO Express for 4 Hours, Paid Just 10 Yuan; Company Responds
Chinese high school graduates seeking summer jobs faced exploitation through an employment agency. Placed at a facility using the STO Express logo, they were promised 200 yuan for an 11-hour shift sorting packages. After just four hours, the station dismissed them, citing “excessive sweating” and unsuitability, paying only 10 yuan for bus fare home instead. The agency challenged them, “Report it to the police if you want money.” STO Express pledged to investigate potential franchisee violations. Authorities separately noted the case highlights youth labor oversight issues, including failure to register underage workers.
