A I am really exhausted, you know, I have been working without the weekend for two weeks. My boss always asks us to work overtime.
我真的筋疲力尽了,你知道吗,我已经有两周周末都在上班了。我的老板总叫我们加班。
B Does your boss pay you for the over-time work?
那你们老板给不给你们加班费?
A No. But he provides free meals and sometimes gives us some small gifts. Many of us get very tired of this, and we'd rather have weekends than stay in the office.
不给。但是他给我们免费供餐,有时候还送点小礼物给我们。我们很多人都不喜欢这样,我们愿要周末而不想留在办公室加班。
B He should know that this is against the Labor Law in our country. Legally, employees should get double pay if asked to do extra work during the weekend or on holidays.
他应该知道这样做是违反我们国家《劳动法》的。根据我国的《劳动法》规定,员工节假日被要求加班则必须得到双份工资。
A We all know about that, but we have no choice. The chairman of the trade union says he is going to negotiate with the management.
我们都知道,可就是没办法。工会主席说要和老板谈谈。
B I suggest that you go to the lawyers' office to get some help.
我建议你们去律师事务所求助。
A That's a good idea. I think we will soon come to a solution to the problem.
这倒是个好主意。我想很快我们就有解决办法了。
