Chapter 180: Chapter 98 Jingzhou Lawyers Association: Lawyer Tang has no issues!_3

But if that still doesn't work, we'll have to resort to public opinion.

However, he believed the case would be accepted. To put it bluntly, these intermediaries were nothing but parasites on the factories and migrant workers, and they were not yet at the level of a "million boatmen."

This Officer Lu had just thought too much subconsciously.

Moreover, these days, the whole education and training industry could be dealt with harshly, so a mere few labor intermediaries wouldn't have that much impact.

Not to mention, the millions of migrant workers in Dongfang City were the true backbone, in comparison, what were the intermediaries...

"Lawyer Tang, we have accepted your police report. As for whether the case will be filed, we need to wait," finally, Old Lu spoke up.

"No problem, Officer Lu, just follow the procedure," replied Lawyer Tang.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Old Lu watched as Lawyer Tang limped out of the building.

That Ma Jingying actually had the nerve to fall out with Lawyer Tang and then shamelessly come back to me.

Lawyer Tang seems easy to talk to, look how patiently he waits when asked...

After setting down the recorded statement, Old Lu met the officer's gaze.

Five seconds later... Why did I agree to listen? I haven't rested in so long!

Old Tang stepped out of the police station, and the workers outside watched eagerly.

"Don't worry, everyone, the matter is taken care of," Old Tang assured them. "I will keep my promise. Now let's go to the arbitration committee together."

At these words, the workers burst into joyful cheers. Lawyer Tang was truly a man of his word!

At the labor arbitration committee of Guanning District, it was nearly noon, and the place was quiet, the staff pondering what to eat for lunch.

Just then, the door was pushed open and a crowd walked in imposingly.

Overtime was inevitable today.

"Oh, one more thing. I want to apply for preservation of assets before arbitration. I worry that the intermediary company may transfer their assets in advance."

"Also, the company pays workers via personal WeChat accounts. I believe their financial situation must be chaotic, with an indistinguishable mix between corporate and personal assets. I request that the People's Court also freezes the salary payment accounts!"

Applying for asset preservation before arbitration was indeed possible, though one had to appeal to the arbitration institution, which would then make the request to the People's Court.

This was a necessary step. Old Tang could be certain that his actions were already exposed and the other party might transfer assets. If they won the arbitration but couldn't execute the decision, it would be as good as losing.

It was better to be safe than sorry.

"We need to act quickly on this, as it involves the interests of dozens of workers."

At the Jingzhou Lawyers Association office, Old Cheng bluntly said, "Taking cases for free, complaints?"

"Just reply that the complaint is invalid. If he really has no shame, let him post it online. Let's see who is in the wrong!"

Old Song already briefed him on the situation yesterday, and while the legal profession has regulations against providing free legal services,

you often see online that after an incident, some lawyers publicly declare that they will represent someone for free.

Aren't they afraid of being penalized by the lawyer's association?

Of course not. Such pro bono work is purely for the public good. If the association dares to issue a penalty, they'd be fiercely criticized within minutes.

It's the same with Old Tang, workers being maliciously underpaid and struggling to sustain their lives, and here's Lawyer Tang, disregarding his own health, representing them for wage recovery for free. What does that tell you!

Not only should the association refrain from penalizing him, but it should also encourage such behavior!

Furthermore, no department would ever criticize such conduct, they would rather promote it.

Because Old Tang's idea of free is not the same as corporations giving away freebies; when he says free, he means it!
