Protection of Employees' Rights and Interests Must Not Have "Temporary Thinking"

The safety accidents occurring in temporary board room staff quarters reflect from one aspect that the emphasis placed on protecting the rights and interests of workers in some places is not in place. In particular, some business operators have “temporary thinking” and in the protection of laborers’ rights and interests, they should not give pressure to the interests of employees. The increase in the interest of employees is intended to be depressed, and less input is required, and less investment is required. To make up for the past, we must focus on the past, ignoring the long-term, and even attempting to fight against the rules and regulations, and play "Tibetan Cats" with the regulators. (EHS.CN)

On May 11th, the retaining wall at the back of the production and processing site of the Shandong Provincial Recycling Resources Co., Ltd. in Huangdao District, Qingdao City, Shandong Province, collapsed during the storm in the morning of May 11, and 40 employees who lived in the Temporary Board Room Staff Quarters. Twenty-one were buried, 18 of them were killed and 3 were injured. The reporter’s on-site investigation found that the staff quarters and the retaining wall were less than half a step, and the retaining wall was higher than the staff quarters. The staff quarters could not collapse under pressure and the workers in the dormitory were in deep sleep. There was almost no escape time.

After the incident, the public prayed for the injured workers and fortunately for the escaped workers. On the one hand, they questioned whether the employer had ineffective management and rescue. I believe with the further investigation, these questions will give answers. One of the questions that cannot be overlooked in the survey is: Why do we need to build a dormitory for workers in dangerous areas? Are there any standards and regulations for the construction of temporary board houses?

Temporary boarding houses serving as staff quarters are not an isolated phenomenon. In many places of engineering construction, especially construction sites, temporary board houses are commonplace, and they have become shelter for many construction workers. Some employers chose to use temporary boarding houses as staff quarters because they are more concerned with the convenience of management and lower costs. However, the safety of temporary boarding houses has not attracted enough attention, especially where temporary boarding houses can be set up. • What kind of safety standards do the temporary boardroom workers need to meet? How do temporary boardrooms behave as dormitory rooms in peacetime? These have almost no clear and specific guidance.

The safety accidents that occurred in temporary board room staff quarters reflect from one aspect that the emphasis placed on protecting the rights and interests of workers in some places is not in place. In particular, some business operators have “temporary thinking” and in the protection of laborers’ rights and interests, they should not give pressure to the interests of employees. The increase in the interest of employees is intended to be depressed, and less input is required, and less investment is required. To make up for the past, we must focus on the past, ignoring the long-term, and even attempting to fight against the rules and regulations, and play "Tibetan Cats" with the regulators.

Under this kind of "temporary thinking", there have been many problems in the protection of workers' rights and interests. For example, some companies allow workers to work in toxic and hazardous environments, and the risk of occupational diseases cannot be discovered immediately. Employers use the characteristics of large mobility of employees, do not improve safety and health standards, but want to circumvent safety and health protection obligations. A few more employees in a few years are not considered for the lifelong health of the workers. For another example, some employers are trying harder to lower costs and are not going to invest in social security for their employees. "Anyway, you're doing this for me for a few months, up to a few. "Year" is not responsible for the long-term interests of employees; for example, some workers have experienced mental problems with different degrees of work stress. Instead of giving more care, employers do everything possible to push problems to the society.

The phenomenon of infringement of labor rights caused by "temporary thinking" continues to occur in some places. Many workers strongly urge that the protection of the lawful rights and interests of workers can not be kept in words or documents, but should be grounded, and the reasons should be found out from the specific cases and specific phenomena in which the rights and interests of workers are damaged. Correction and prevention. In particular, it is necessary to strengthen supervision in a targeted manner and put an end to some people’s “temporary thinking” and to eliminate the chance that some people are always willing to discount the protection of their rights and interests and do not give them any opportunities.
