A JUDGE in central China's Hubei Province has been sacked after repeatedly complaining in public over his wife's labor dispute while dressed in his judge's uniform.

Feng Bing, assistant judge with Xiaogan City Intermediate People's Court, received his job suspension notice yesterday, backdated 20 days, today's China Youth Daily newspaper reported.

Feng, wearing his judge's uniform with a national emblem, stood in front of Hubei Higher People's Court for three days and held a placard saying "unfair" after he failed to get the court's response to his lawsuit.

Feng told China Youth Daily that his wife, who had been a logistics worker for 10 years in the same court as his, was fired in 2008 after refusing to sign a labor contract with a firm assigned by the court. The court was laying off some of its workers, Feng told reporters.

He said according to the law, his wife should be entitled to a lifelong labor contract with the court after 10 years of service.
