行政部门的口头答复也具可诉性

刘某是东风化工公司的职工．从事有害工种作业已近13年。因公司近年来经济效益不太好，刘某打算按照特殊工种的有关规定办理退休手续。由于担心公司不同意自己提前退休，于是自拟一份退休申请送到县劳动保障局。该局社会保险科的工作人员告诉刘某，劳动保障局只受理用人单位报送的《职工退休审批表》，请他先向公司提出退休申请，由公司为他填写《职工退休审批表》后，再送县劳动保障局审批。刘某认为，申请退休是劳动者的权利而不是用人单位的权利，没有必要一定由用人单位代为申请。     

Responses of wheat seedlings to cadmium, mercury and trichlorobenzene stresses

The molecular response of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.,cv.Yangmai 10) seedlings to heavy metal (Cd,Hg) and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (TCB) stresses were examined by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis,image analysis,and peptide mass fingerprinting.The results showed inhibitions of root and shoot growth by Cd,Hg and TCB.These stresses led to water deficit and lipid phosphorylation in the seedling which also promoted protein phophorylation in the leaves.Hg stress inhibited protein synthesis while Cd and TCB stresses induced or up-regulated more proteins in the leaves.Most of these induced proteins played important roles in the biochemical reactions involved in tolerance of wheat to Cd and TCB stresses.The primary functions of Cd- and TCB-induced proteins included methionine metabolism,Rubisco modification,protein phosphorylation regulation,protein configuration protection,H+ transmembrane transportation and also the synthesis of ethylene defense substances and cell wall compounds.     

劳动保障部门工作人员的口头答复意见不具有可诉性

今年第5期《中国劳动》刊登了言实同志《劳动保障局作出的口头答复意见具有可诉性》的文章，拜读后很受启发，但文中观点却有商榷之处。笔者认为，劳动保障部门工作人员的口头答复意见不是具体行政行为，不具有可诉性，主要有以下理由：
