Recently, a shocking and angry incident occurred in Wafangdian City, Dalian, Liaoning Province, where sanitation workers' wages were owed for many months, leading to a collective strike of sanitation workers. The garbage on the streets is piled up and the smell is overflowing, and the citizens can't help but question: why are the people always hurt, and why do they have to face the dilemma of unpaid wages after they work hard for their lives?
The cause of the collective strike of sanitation workers is:Outsourcing companiesWorkers are in arrears of wages, causing workers to fall intoEconomyPlight. Every time the workers went to demand wages, the leaders always said "in a few days", but their promises were not realized, and the expectations of the masses were only disappointed again and again. The workers felt cold and could not bear it any longer, so they discussed a collective strike.
The monthly salary of these sanitation workers is not much, only a few dozen yuan, and only more than 1,000 yuan a month, which may be a small amount for young people, but for older sanitation workers, it is an important income for them to bear the burden of their families alone**. They work hard to earn money to support their families, more than a penny from their sons and daughters-in-law.
This incident has attracted the attention and resonance of the majority of netizens. Some netizens ** the fact that the monthly wages of sanitation workers are low and questionedOutsourcing companiesWhether there have been any inspections of the workers' work. The reason why sanitation workers are angry about the unpaid wages is because it is their hard-earned money, and it is the effort and sweat they put in to support their families. More than 1,000 yuan may be insignificant for young people, but it is very important for elderly people like sanitation workers, who have no other income** and can only live on this meager income.
It is understood that these affected sanitation workers were originally made ofOutsourcing companiesHired. It makes one think,Outsourcing companiesIs there any collusion with local superiors?It stands to reason that the superior leader should be rightOutsourcing companiesWage delays should not be allowed to happen with supervision. However, the wages of sanitation workers have been in arrears for several months, and there must be some problems in them, and it is hoped that the relevant departments can find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible and properly solve the problem of workers' wages.
As sanitation workers go on strike, garbage piles up on the streets, creating a disgusting sight. The garbage cans in the streets and alleys are piled up with all sorts of thingsHousehold waste, sprinkled with sewage and stench. Passers-by walked by, and the storefronts operated by the merchants were also affected by this disgusting scene. Citizens sighed: Why is this happening?
The sight of garbage with nowhere to pile up is unbearable. ** It can be seen that next to each garbage can, there are all kinds of garbage, forming a huge "garbage mountain". The unpleasant stench emitted by the garbage fills the air and is disgusting. Passers-by pass by these though are restaurants、Shopsand other places in the local sanitation area, you will also feel nauseous because of the garbage on the ground.
We can't help but wonder why such a garbage accumulation problem is happeningIs it because of the sanitation workers' strike that led to the accumulation of garbage?The answer is no. The problem of garbage accumulation is not just caused by the strike of sanitation workers, but in factOutsourcing companiesThe result of arrears of wages to workers. Because wages are not paid, sanitation workers lose motivation to work and are unable to clean up garbage in a timely manner. This is not only an injustice to sanitation workers, but also an irresponsibility to the entire urban environment.
As a journalist in Hengyang, Hunan Province, I have a father who is a sanitation worker. My father is 65 years old this year, but he is still in good health and insists on working as a sanitizer. Whenever I see him hunched over at work, I feel endless pity and respect in my heart.
My father was a very hardworking and resilient man, he got up at 5 a.m. every day to start work, swept the streets diligently, and even picked up some scrap and sold it to scrap stores to add some extra income. He told me that although doing so would stain his clothes and hands, he had Xi the way of life because he felt that labor was a joy and pride.
I tried many times to persuade my father to let him grow some food at home or help me with the children, but he insisted on continuing to work. He said that work keeps him healthy and energetic, able to be self-sufficient, worthy of a man.
My father's salary was only 1,800 yuan per month, and according to the 24-day system, he had 6 days off. Compared to sanitation workers in other cities, fathers' wages can be considered punctual. Still, the amount is meagre for his work and dedication, far from being comparable to his hard work and effort.
Sanitation workers are one of our most respected demographics, and their hard work keeps our city streets clean and our living environment more livable. They get up early and work late in order to live, accompanied by sweat and hard work, and pay silently, but they are often ignored and misunderstood. Their wages should be paid on time to reward them for their hard work.
In the face of this incident, we need to think about whether we should pay more attention to the rights and interests of sanitation workers and fight for the wages and benefits they deserveWe should be more respectful and caring for these hard-working people, so that their efforts can be duly rewarded. It is hoped that the relevant departments can find out the truth of the incident as soon as possible and properly solve the issue of workers' wages so that they can continue to contribute to our city. At the same time, hopefullySocialAll walks of life can pay attention to the rights and interests of sanitation workers and jointly create a fair and just communitySocialEnvironment.
Finally, once again, I would like to pay my respects to all the sanitation workers!Thanks to your hard work, our city has become more beautiful and livable!You've worked so hard!
