CCTV***The two sessions of the National People's Congress in 2024 are about to be held, and many deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) will go to the grassroots level, listen to the voices and opinions of the people, and further improve the bills and proposals.
Su Bin, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: Do a good job of safeguarding the rights and interests of workers in the new form of employment
According to the data of the 9th National Workforce Survey, the number of new employment workers in China, mainly couriers, takeaway delivery workers, and online car-hailing drivers, has reached 84 million, accounting for nearly 21% of the total number of employees. How to strengthen the protection of their rights and interests and help the development of China's digital economy has been the focus of Su Bin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and director of the Rights and Interests Protection Department of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, in the past year.
During the Spring Festival, when everyone is gathering with their families, many takeaway and express delivery brothers still stick to their posts to ensure the normal life of the masses. At noon, some takeaway brothers hurried to the nearby trade union post station to have a hot meal after delivering the meal, and Su Bin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, also took advantage of this time to visit the post station for research.
After the end of the investigation at the post station, Su Bin rushed to a number of platform companies to visit and investigate, and it was evening when he returned to the unit.
The reporter found that Su did not take out a notebook when he was investigating, and he took out a notebook to record when he was discussing with enterprises. In this regard, Su Bin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, responded with a smile: "The main reason for this is because when you chat with the workers and masters, you take a notebook to make a record, and some people are reluctant to talk to you about their hearts, and he has concerns." So every time I go to the front line, especially when I communicate with the front-line workers and masters, I have to listen carefully and put listening first. Keep their demands in your mind, and write them down one by one when you come back. ”
In 2023, he was elected as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), focusing on improving the protection system for the rights and interests of workers in new forms of employment. It has received positive replies from relevant ministries and commissions, and has given a strong impetus to the relevant work.
Su Bin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said that the majority of workers are more concerned about algorithm issues, labor security issues, occupational health issues, and vocational training. The All-China Federation of Trade Unions, courts, and procuratorates have strengthened the mediation of labor disputes, established a series of mechanisms for the mediation of labor relations disputes between trade unions and labor relations, and taken the lead in establishing a labor relations consultation and coordination mechanism in a number of leading enterprises (on the Internet), so that the vast number of front-line workers have more mechanisms and conditions to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
In the past year, the cost-effective "Xiaoge Apartment" built in Shanghai, the "Xiaoge Hospital" in Hebei and Shandong to provide exclusive medical services for workers in new employment forms, and the promotion of outdoor worker service stations as livelihood projects in 28 provinces and municipalities have also strengthened Su Bin's confidence. In the past year, he has conducted research in nearly 30 cities in 18 provinces to protect the rights and interests of workers in new forms of employment.
This reporter found that there were handwriting of different colors on Su Bin's notepad, and Su Bin said: "Last year, I listed the situation of going deep into the grassroots level to investigate and some of my learning experiences. For example, the red handwriting is mainly the accumulation of my participation in the training class for new committee members, and it is all important theoretical knowledge of the party, especially some important speeches and instructions of the general secretary, which I mark as red. The people who go deep into the front line may also have some voices or ideas, and I use some other colors to mark them, mainly as memos. ”
During the investigation, Su Bin found that workers in the new form of employment generally have a strong sense of gain, but due to the characteristics of flexible labor relations and flexible working methods, the inability to enjoy the dividends of the social security system has become a difficult problem for some people.
Committee member Su Bin suggested that while safeguarding the rights and interests of workers in the new form of employment, we should also create a good external environment for the development of platform enterprises, and guide enterprises to establish sustainable business and profit models, so as to create more new employment opportunities and jobs. "To promote the development of enterprises and safeguard the rights and interests of employees, the interests of both parties must be protected. During the two sessions, I will also sort out some of the demands and needs of enterprises and employees that I have collected over the past year, so as to put forward some targeted opinions and suggestions, safeguard the rights and interests of workers in new employment groups, create a good business environment for enterprises with new forms of business and new business models, and jointly promote Chinese-style modernization. ”
Guo Jinkao, deputy to the National People's Congress: Let every inch of land produce more food
Guo Jinkao, a deputy to the National People's Congress and a consultant of the wheat expert guidance group of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, has been rooted in the field for 50 years and is committed to wheat breeding and promotion. At this year's National People's Congress and the National People's Congress, he prepared a proposal for "the integrated development of new varieties, new technologies, new equipment, and new farmers" to accelerate the transformation of traditional agriculture to modern agriculture and let every inch of land produce more food.
Finding a topic in the farmland is Guo Jinkao's most important experience in performing his duties. As the chief expert on wheat breeding in Hebei Province, he spends at least half of the year in the fields. Just after the Spring Festival, he and the scientific research team went into the field again.
Ma Lan Farm in Xinji City is the place where Guo Jinkao has worked hard for 50 years, where he led the team to breed high-yield and water-saving varieties, observed the growth and cold resistance of different varieties of wheat seedlings, recorded thousands of sets of data, and bred wheat "excellent students" like gold in the sand, and successively cultivated more than 30 excellent wheat varieties.
He led people to open up a special display field in Malan Farm to show the yield of different varieties under the same conditions, and regularly invited farmers to see and select on the spot.
Last year, the high-quality special new varieties selected by Guo Jinkao and the scientific research team passed the national examination. During his tenure for one year, he traveled to every city in the main wheat producing areas of Hebei, and also promoted new varieties to Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and other places. The seventh production team of Zhoujiazhuang Township, Jinzhou City, Hebei Province, tried to plant new varieties cultivated by Guo Jinkao on a small scale last year, and this year, they have replaced all 1,300 acres of land with new varieties.
If there are good seeds, there must be "good methods" for farming. During the visit and investigation, Guo Jinkao also found that farmers in some places still follow the traditional practice, sowing 30 catties of wheat seeds or more per acre of land, which not only wastes seeds, but also easily affects the yield.
Guo Jinkao said: The state has made great efforts to build high-standard farmland, and storing grain in the ground is the basis for a sustained increase in grain production, and making good use of high-standard farmland and storing grain in technology is the foundation for increasing grain yield. Through the analysis of the survey results of thousands of farmers, the yield difference of more than 10% for the same soil fertility and different varieties is more than 10%; With the same soil fertility, the same variety, and different management measures, the yield per mu will also differ by more than 10%; There is still a lot of potential for increasing grain yields. Only by integrating new varieties, new technologies, new equipment, and new farmers can we accelerate the transformation of traditional agriculture to modern agriculture and increase grain yields. On the eve of the two sessions, Guo Jinkao seized the time to visit various places and improve the research report.
Sun Jie, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: Improve the well-being of the elderly and stimulate the vitality of the silver economy
Sun Jie, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics, has served as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) for three consecutive terms, and she continues to pay attention to the continuous improvement of policies related to the aging of the population.
During the Spring Festival, Sun Jie came to some streets and community elderly care institutions in Beijing to carry out field research and further improve the content of the proposal for this year's two sessions. Last year, she distributed more than 2,000 questionnaires and held a number of symposiums to investigate the social support system needed for home-based elderly care.
Sun Jie found in the survey that after the relevant state departments issued opinions on promoting meal assistance services for the elderly last year, various forms of meal assistance services for the elderly in various places developed rapidly. Beijing Zizhuyuan Street Elderly Care Service Center is a comprehensive elderly care service facility with both elderly care services and home services, which has provided meal assistance services for the elderly around since January this year, and the elderly enjoy discounts according to their age, with an average cost of 12-20 yuan per meal.
Sun Jie found in the survey that at present, most of the elderly meal services enjoy preferential policies such as free venues, financial subsidies, water and electricity, etc., and are welcomed by the elderly because of the characteristics of preferential treatment and rich variety, but the elderly restaurants are still facing high property costs and a shortage of door-to-door delivery personnel. At this year's two sessions, Sun Jie will put forward specific suggestions on how to make the meal service for the elderly have hematopoietic function and achieve sustainable operation.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China will actively respond to the rise of population aging as a national strategy, and the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China proposed to develop the pension industry and the pension industry, and optimize the services for the elderly who are alone and widowed. Last year, a series of policies on the construction of the basic pension service system, meal assistance services for the elderly, and the development of pension talents were intensively introduced. As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) for three consecutive years, Sun Jie has continued to submit proposals to the CPPCC National Committee from multiple perspectives such as economic security, service security, and system construction in response to the aging population, and many of the suggestions have been adopted by relevant departments.
This year, the state issued the "Opinions on the Development of the Silver Economy to Enhance the Well-being of the Elderly", how to develop the silver economy, Sun Jie started from the products for the elderly just needed, and successively went to a number of pension institutions and assistive device companies to carry out research.
Sun Jie found in the survey that the measures carried out by the Ministry of Civil Affairs and other departments to support the renovation of 2 million elderly families in difficulty during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period have improved the safety and convenience of the home life of the elderly, but the enthusiasm of the elderly who do not enjoy the first subsidy to carry out the renovation for the elderly at their own expense is not high.
During the two sessions this year, Sun Jie will submit a proposal on "Comprehensively Promoting the Construction of Social Ageing and Building an Age-Friendly Society", suggesting that efforts should be made from the supply side and demand side of age-appropriate transformation at the same time to promote the age-appropriate transformation of public places, communities and families, improve the well-being of the elderly, and stimulate the vitality of the silver economy.
