In recent years, the group of "migrant workers" has become the focus of social attention. They have worked hard and contributed to China's economic construction. However, a recent CCTV comment has sparked widespread controversy, pointing out that "workers should not be able to take a break". What's going on here? This article will give you an in-depth look at this topic.
The term "migrant workers" originates from a popular meme on the Internet, which represents a group of ordinary people who work hard and live hard. They may be factory workers, they may be white-collar workers, they may be service industry employees, ......What they all have in common is that they work tirelessly for the sake of life.
However, in reality, migrant workers are not as easy as they imagined. According to the data of China's National Bureau of Statistics, in 2019, the average working hours of workers in China reached 2,268 hours, ranking among the highest in the world. Long hours of work have left many migrant workers physically exhausted, and they are eager to take a vacation to recover their strength and better devote themselves to work.
In China, there are clear laws and regulations on the rights and interests of workers. According to the provisions of the Labor Law of the People's Republic of China, Chinese workers enjoy a series of leave rights and interests such as paid annual leave, overtime pay on holidays, sick leave, and maternity leave. However, in practice, many migrant workers are not fully protected for their leave rights.
On the one hand, some enterprises ignore the leave rights of workers in order to pursue profits and reduce costs. They overload workers by working overtime and compressing vacation time. On the other hand, in the face of unreasonable demands from enterprises, some migrant workers choose to swallow their anger for fear of losing their jobs, which infringes on their leave rights.
Recently, a comment on CCTV has attracted attention. The commentary mentions that "workers should not be able to take leave", pointing out the dilemma faced by workers in terms of leave. This comment quickly aroused widespread discussion in society, and many people believed that it was a profound revelation of the living conditions of migrant workers.
However, there are also voices who question this, believing that this comment is too pessimistic and ignores the achievements made by China in protecting the rights and interests of workers on leave. So, what is the truth?
To answer this question, we need to look at three aspects: laws and regulations, enterprise management, and awareness of workers' rights and interests.
First of all, improve laws and regulations to increase the protection of workers' rights and interests on leave. China should further revise and improve the labor law and other relevant laws and regulations, clarify the leave rights and interests of employees, increase the punishment of enterprise violations, and ensure that the leave rights and interests of workers are effectively protected.
Second, strengthen enterprise management and implement the leave system. Enterprises should strictly abide by the national laws and regulations on leave, reasonably arrange the work and rest time of employees, and ensure that employees can enjoy the statutory rights and interests of leave.
Finally, raise the awareness of workers' rights and interests, and have the courage to protect their legitimate rights and interests. Workers should understand their rights and interests, dare to resist unreasonable work requirements, and have the courage to protect their legitimate rights and interests. At the same time, through trade unions, legal aid and other channels, seek help to jointly protect the rights and interests of migrant workers.
Workers should not be able to take a break", this topic has aroused widespread concern in the society. To protect the rights and interests of workers, it is necessary not only to improve laws and regulations, but also to improve the level of enterprise management, and more importantly, to awaken the awareness of workers' rights and interests. Let us all hope that in a fairer and more reasonable social environment, the rights and interests of migrant workers can be fully protected, and they can truly realize "dignified work and guaranteed leave".
