编辑同志:我是市里一家机械厂的合同制工人,与厂里签订了五年的劳动合同。进厂时,厂里安排我到车工车间当车工,并送我到技工学校培训学习了三个月的车工技术。到今年9月底,我的合同期满。由于多种原因,我于9月初向厂里提出不再续订劳动合同,但厂里却要我必须缴纳在技工学校期间的培训费1千元,否则不予办理终止合同手续。请问:厂里的这种做法合法吗?我该怎么办?读者:方毅 Edit comrades: I am a contract factory workers in a machinery plant in the city, and the factory signed a five-year labor contract. Into the factory, the factory arranged me to the lathe workshop as a turner, and sent me to the technical school training to learn three months of lathe technology. By the end of September this year, my contract expired. For various reasons, I proposed to the factory not to renew the labor contract in early September. However, I had to pay the training fee of $ 1,000 for training at a technical school. Otherwise, no formalities for terminating the contract would be granted. Excuse me: Is this procedure in the factory legal? What should I do? Readers: Fang Yi
