With the process of urbanization, more and more people choose to buy fresh food in supermarkets or markets. However, many consumers find that after buying fresh food, they find that the food is completely different from what is displayed in person. Among them, a special lighting device, "fresh lamp", is used by merchants to mislead consumers and make food look more colorful and attractive. This kind of behavior not only deceives consumers, but also harms the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
In order to solve this problem, from December 1 this year, the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of the Quality and Safety of Edible Agricultural Products Market" began to be officially implemented. The new regulations stipulate that businesses selling fresh food, whether in supermarkets or markets, cannot use lighting facilities that mislead consumers, including "fresh lights". This means that consumers will no longer be misjudged about the freshness of the food when they buy fresh food because of the interference of the lights.
The introduction of this new regulation can better protect the rights and interests of consumers and prevent them from buying stale food because of "fresh lights". For the majority of migrant workers, as consumers, they can also buy food with more confidence and avoid being scammed. At the same time, everyone can also actively participate in supervision and reporting, and jointly maintain market order and consumer rights and interests.
2. Good news 2: The scope of work-related injury insurance for over-age migrant workers has been expanded, and labor rights and interests have been further protected.
Among the migrant workers employed in China's urban areas, many of them belong to the "overage" migrant workers, that is, those who are over 65 years old. Although many places no longer remove over-age migrant workers across the board, some places still have strict requirements for over-age migrant workers to work and require a physical health examination report. As long as there are no diseases affecting the work on the construction site, over-age migrant workers can continue to work on the construction site.
In order to further protect the labor rights and interests of over-age migrant workers, some provinces and cities, including Hubei Province, Hainan Province, Anhui Province and Shanghai Municipality, have successively issued relevant notices and opinions to expand the coverage of work-related injury insurance. Under the new policy, employees who have exceeded the statutory retirement age can also be covered by work-related injury insurance, including many specific groups, including over-age migrant workers. In this way, if they are injured at work on the construction site or construction site, they can also receive corresponding compensation, and their labor rights and interests will be further protected.
Therefore, it is very important for over-age migrant workers who are struggling outside the home to purchase work-related injury insurance. Only by fully protecting their rights and interests can they work with more peace of mind and be able to deal with possible unexpected situations.
In the last month of 2019, for the majority of migrant workers, in addition to returning to their hometowns for the New Year, there are two good news closely related to their lives and work. First of all, through the comprehensive rectification of the problem of "fresh lights", the new management measures will be officially implemented from December 1, to avoid the use of lights by businesses in the market to mislead consumers, and to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. Second, in response to the problem of work-related injury insurance for over-age migrant workers, some provinces and cities have also taken corresponding measures to broaden the coverage of work-related injury insurance, so that some specific groups, including over-age migrant workers, can also enjoy corresponding protection, and labor rights and interests are further protected.
As migrant workers, they work hard for their lives, and they work hard for their families. The introduction of these good news is undoubtedly a recognition and care for them, and it is also a reward for their hard work. But at the same time, as migrant workers, we must always be vigilant, take the initiative to understand relevant policies and regulations, and actively protect our rights and interests. Only with the attention and efforts of the whole society can the rights and interests of peasant workers be better protected and their living and working conditions gradually improved.
Let us look forward to the better development of the migrant workers in their future work and life, and hope that every migrant worker can receive the respect and care they deserve.
