本案例试图告诉工友:合法权益也会“过期作废”。《劳动争议处理条例》第23条规定:当事人应当从知道或者应当知道其权利被侵害之日起六个月内,以书面形式向仲裁委员会申请仲裁。 This case tries to tell workers: Legitimate rights and interests also expire “expired”. Article 23 of the “Labor Dispute Resolution Ordinance” stipulates that the parties shall apply to the Arbitration Commission for arbitration in writing within six months from the date when they knew or should have known their rights were infringed.
