A | London, Oct 12 (UNI) The Hinduja family, recognized as the richest in the United Kingdom, has been accused of refusing to pay the workers of its company Hinduja Global Services (HGS) a "real living wage," while its personal fortune increased by 11.5 billion pounds ($12.7 billion) in one year, The Guardian reported on Wednesday.
The "real living wage" is the wage rate voluntarily paid by more than 11,000 businesses in the UK that believe their employees deserve a salary that covers their daily necessities.
Some employees of HGS, an outsourcing company used by the UK government to run the Disclosure and Criminal Records Service, which checks potential employees, are reportedly paid 9.75 pounds ($10.7) per hour.
This rate is above the legal minimum wage of 9.50 pounds per hour but below the real living wage, which is 11.95 pounds for people working in London and 10.90 pounds for those who work outside the capital.
In addition, the newspaper reports that HGS offered workers a 3.25% pay increase in April, but this figure is below the current rate of inflation, which is 9.9%, and is expected to continue to rise in October.
"We are unhappy that we are working for an organisation owned by the two richest people in the country, and yet we’re being told there’s no money. At every meeting that we have [with management] we’re told it’s tough out there for everybody and the company can’t afford it. But that is outrageous, we are owned by actual billionaires," an HGS worker told the newspaper.
In turn, a spokesperson for HGS said that it was wrong to suggest that the Hinduja family owns the company, since "they are shareholders in HGS alongside a number of other institutional and private investors, and reference to the wealth of our shareholders has no relevance to the negotiations."
UNI/SPUTNIK GNK。据媒体报道，夏威夷最后一棵金冠树耳蜗（Achatinella apexfulva）最近死亡，这意味着该物种也已经灭绝。据报道，这只名叫“乔治”的夏威夷树蜗牛于今年1月1日死亡，享年14岁。14年来，“乔治”没有找到配偶，“乔治”的死意味着我们目睹了另一个物种的灭绝。
B | 夏威夷树蜗牛最明显的特征之一是蜗牛壳顶部的金黄色区域。该物种最初分布在夏威夷群岛的瓦胡岛上。它在夏威夷的繁荣时期非常丰富。1995年以后，夏威夷蜗牛在外来蜗牛的入侵下几乎灭绝。维基百科的图片显示，人口减少的主要原因之一是“玫瑰卷”（玫瑰橡实蜗牛），一种中等大小的蜗牛，属于橡实蜗牛属，原产于美国。本种是捕食其他蜗牛的食肉动物。玫瑰卷之所以被引进，是因为它想控制入侵非洲蜗牛的数量，但没有考虑。
C | 夏威夷蜗牛濒临灭绝。这就是为什么夏威夷至少有8种当地蜗牛灭绝的原因。1997年，最后10只蜗牛被送到夏威夷大学的实验室进行人工繁殖，但最终，除了乔治以外，所有的蜗牛都死了。在此之前，国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）已将该物种列为极度濒危物种。据了解，科学家们已经提取出“乔治”身体组织用于制冷，期待有一天“复活”乔治。一些灭绝物种（百科全书）：1681年的渡渡鸟灭绝；1768年的海牛灭绝；1800年的恐怖鸟类和蓝马羚羊灭绝；1844年的海鸟灭绝；1875年的南极狼灭绝（生活在地球最南端的犬科动物）；1880年的美国缅因州黄鼠狼灭绝；1880年的牙买加仓鼠灭绝（关于区域性灭绝；3年内灭绝；1890年澳大利亚兔子灭绝；1900年昆士兰毛鼻袋熊区域性灭绝；1900年圣诞岛虎头鼠灭绝；1901年艾米旱獭灭绝；1902年澳大利亚白足旱獭灭绝；1903年加利福尼亚南部猫和狐狸灭绝。
