The case was taken to court this week in the city of Shenzhen.Chai, who had been working with the country’s largest airline since 2015, said he was only paid 10% of his salary while he was in suspension, and the company refused to renew his contract.
He said in a statement: “I don’t want there to be anyone else like me who will be treated in this way. I think I really represent a very, very common worker, but just one who happens to be a sexual.
