In this bustling world, everyone is struggling to make a living. However, in this world, there are also countless workers, whose rights and interests are not guaranteed, and their right to life and health is ignored. Today, we are going to tell such a story, a hard-working worker, the loss of a young life, and the tragedy of a family. In the following pages, we will analyze this incident in depth, explore the truth behind it, and hope to arouse the society's attention to and protection of workers' rights and interests.
Recently, Cao Xiaotian (pseudonym), who was only 21 years old, suddenly died in the dormitory, which triggered netizens' concern about work In the past 6 months, 21-year-old Cao Xiaotian (pseudonym) worked in Guangdong Shijie Logistics***, and worked more than 12 hours for more than 50 days. Especially in August, he worked more than 12 hours on 18 days. On other days, it was difficult for him to work 8 hours a day and leave work as agreed in his contract.
However, it was not until around 9 p.m. on November 14 that Cao Xiaotian suddenly collapsed in the dormitory, and the electrocardiogram became a horizontal line, losing the opportunity to rescue. His mother rushed to Jiangmen from Guangzhou and did not even see her son for the last time. A 21-year-old young man died suddenly after working overtime
Before it happened, there were actually some signs. At 5:38 a.m. on the day of the incident, Cao Xiaotian appeared under the surveillance of the warehouse holding his stomach and carrying a red plastic bag, looking a little weak. At the end of the day, he told his friends that his heart was beating so fast. But he may have thought that this was just a temporary discomfort and that it would be good to take a break, but he didn't expect that this was a wake-up call for the countdown to the start of life.
Ms. Wu, Cao's mother, said that when her son was driving a forklift in a logistics warehouse workshop on October 8, his thigh hit the shelf, causing two wounds, and he went to the hospital for stitches. But he didn't tell them anything about injuries at work.
During his work, Cao Xiaotian often needs to work more than 12 hours, or even longer. His mother said that although the contract stated that she worked eight hours a day, in reality, her son worked more than that number of hours every day.
Cao Xiaotian's performance at work is also excellent, he rarely gets sick, and even donated blood last year. He said the work was tiring, but never complained to them. In late October, when he was on the phone with his mother, she felt that he was so tired that he had no strength. He offered to resign, but the leadership did not approve it.
Cao Xiaotian is the eldest son in the family, and after his father's hand injury, the family's economy mainly depends on his mother's work on the factory assembly line. Now, Cao Xiaotian has passed away, his mother is unable to work, and the family is living in difficulty, and eating has become a problem.
Cao Xiaotian's death made it difficult for his family to accept. They hope that through the identification of work-related injuries, they will fight for Cao Xiaotian's due rights and interests. However, it was difficult for them to accept the fact that an autopsy was required for the determination of work-related injuries, but in order to protect the rights and interests of their son, they still chose this path. Although the company did not agree to pay the fee, they intended to cover it themselves.
Netizens also have different opinions on this matter. Some netizens believe that Cao Xiaotian's death is a tragedy, and the company should take its due responsibility to provide employees with a better working environment and protection. Some netizens also said that excessive working hours were the main reason for Cao Xiaotian's death, and the company should reflect on this to avoid the recurrence of similar incidents. Some netizens also mentioned that the identification of work-related injuries and autopsy are the key to safeguarding Cao Xiaotian's rights and interests, and they hope that the relevant departments can handle this matter fairly.
In any case, I hope that Cao Xiaotian's family can get the compensation and support they deserve, so that he can rest in peace in heaven. At the same time, it is also hoped that this incident can arouse more people's attention to the rights and interests of workers and create a more fair and safe workplace environment for workers.
