On February 4, sanitation workers in Xiayi County, Henan Province, were struggling to ask for wages in the freezing and cold weather because they were owed wages, and the news spread quickly on the Internet, causing widespread concern and sympathy from all walks of life. These sanitation workers are rural cleaners hired by Xiayi County's dust cleaning and environmental protection technology, and they are silently responsible for urban cleaning, but they suffer from wage arrears.
In the face of this serious problem, the Xiayi County Urban Management Bureau did not evade, but bravely stood up and took responsibility. They are deeply remorseful and sincerely apologize to the public for not being able to resolve the issue in a timely manner. According to the instructions of the Urban Management Bureau, from January 1, 2023, Dust Cleaning and Environmental Protection Technology will be responsible for the rural garbage removal and cleaning work in Xiayi County, and the wages of sanitation workers will be paid in advance during this period. As of January 26, 2024, the company's application for ** payment of custody fees was approved. However, it was not until 17:00 on February 4 that the Xiayi County Finance Bureau fully allocated the trusteeship salary expenses to the Urban Management Bureau. In order to solve this problem, the Xiayi County Urban Management Bureau acted quickly. In the notice on the 5th, they promised that they would strengthen the supervision of dust cleaning and environmental protection technology from now on to ensure that there will be no more arrears of wages for rural sanitation workers. At the same time, in order to deal with the social concern caused by the lack of work, the urban management bureau dared to take responsibility and said that it would ask for punishment to show its determination and sincerity.
This incident has aroused people's attention to the rights and interests of sanitation workers, and also let us see the responsibility of the first department in the face of problems. It is hoped that through this incident, more people's attention and respect for sanitation workers can be aroused, so that beauticians in these cities can get the treatment and respect they deserve.
