Why do sanitation workers frequently receive ＂wonderful welfare＂ care and condolences？

　　BEIJING, Beijing, January 14 (Shang Qi, Zhang Ni) Recently, the news that "Zhengzhou gave high heels to sanitation industry" caused public controversy. Counting the news about condolences to sanitation workers in recent years, some "wonderful welfare" always makes people laugh and cry. Why do some enterprises and departments care for sanitation workers repeatedly make jokes? What kind of care do sanitation workers need most for urban sanitation?

　　The welfare of sanitation workers has been embarrassed repeatedly. Who is to blame?

　　According to media reports, recently, some sanitation workers in Erqi District, Zhengzhou, Henan Province, feel aggrieved when they talk about welfare. Except for single shoes in winter and shoes with chaotic sizes, all sanitation companies issue women’s shoes, including high heels. The company responded that this is a shoe donated by a caring person and has contacted to change the shoe size.

　　As soon as the news came out, it immediately triggered a hot discussion among netizens. Some people think that this is the behavior of "merchants handling tail goods at the end of the year". Zhang Mingsuo, a sociology professor at Zhengzhou University, told Zhongxin.com that the embarrassment of sending high heels is often a spontaneous donation from some enterprises or activities.

　　"This kind of donation is arbitrary and not an institutional or long-term arrangement, so there are some problems easily." Zhang Mingsuo said.

　　In fact, the wonderful welfare that sanitation workers encounter is far more than a pair of high heels, and there are many kinds of formalistic care, each with its own embarrassment.

　　Earlier, some media reported that in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, there was a lounge built in the name of "caring for sanitation workers", but it was reduced to furnishings. Workers were not allowed to enter at ordinary times, even if it was rainy, it could not be used for rest. Some sanitation workers said that they could only go in and sit when the leaders checked their work.

　　In 2015, the sanitation workers in Shifang, Sichuan, received the summer welfare mineral water from the environmental sanitation office and found that these bottled mineral water had expired for two months. Earlier in 2012, the sanitation workers in Baoji, Shaanxi Province received red envelopes when they participated in the condolence activities of the leaders, but after the activities, the red envelopes were taken back. At that time, the staff explained that solatium had already sent them before, but the temporary changes in the activities led to another red envelope.

　　Who will guard the rights and benefits of sanitation workers?

　　Sanitation workers work hard to maintain urban environmental sanitation. How to protect and standardize their basic rights and interests?

　　According to a media survey, among the front-line sanitation workers in Beijing, there are very few institutions that actually own the establishment. Some streets generally outsource the road cleaning work within their jurisdiction to private cleaning companies, which is highly mobile, and some even have not signed labor contracts.

　　Su Hainan, vice president of china association for labour studies, analyzed in an interview with Zhongxin. com that there are not many places where private enterprises, such as sanitation institutes and sanitation enterprises, can obtain funds, so there may be some phenomena, such as failing to give the protection they deserve, and even deducting wages.

　　Zhang Mingsuo also suggested that the sanitation department should strengthen management, the legitimate rights and interests of sanitation workers must be safeguarded, and the infringement must be investigated. For material donations and public welfare care from the society, local charitable organizations can take the lead.

　　"The Charity Federation can play a normative role and establish a long-term assistance mechanism with sanitation workers to clarify which materials are needed and which are not needed, so as to avoid making some so-called donations a burden for them." Zhang Mingsuo also suggested that voluntary service can be guided and standardized through voluntary associations, social work federations and other public welfare industry organizations, so that it can gradually become a reasonable institutional arrangement.

　　Who knows the warmth that sanitation workers need most?

　　The topic of "sanitation workers receiving high-heeled shoes benefits" has become a hot online search for a while. In fact, in recent years, relevant reports such as "inviting sanitation workers to eat" and "inviting sanitation workers to watch movies" have appeared frequently, but are these benefits really needed by sanitation workers?

　　Li Jian, a Henan-based sanitation worker who works in Shanghai, told the reporter of Zhongxin.com, "Some caring from relevant departments and enterprises comes from the heart, while some condolences are mostly in a form. They don’t know us at all."

　　Li Jian, who has been a sanitation worker for five or six years, now belongs to a cleaning company in Shanghai. Every morning at 4: 30, he starts to clean the garbage on the street. However, he is not a regular worker in the company.

　　"But migrant workers like me, no matter how long they work, are not as good as regular employees." Li Jian said that in general, the salary has increased in recent years, and now it can get more than 3,000 yuan per month. In addition, in a first-tier city like Shanghai, at least the sanitation allowance and working hours are guaranteed.

　　Although the salary and benefits have increased, for Li Jian, the cost of renting a house and living in Shanghai is no small expense. He will use his rest time to work part-time. At most, he will work part-time, and he will save money. "

　　"I am also a migrant worker who has left his hometown and knows what migrant workers need." Li Jian said frankly, "We don’t need charity and pity. Even a greeting or a cup of hot water will make us feel warm. What we need most is sincerity and respect."

　　According to experts such as Zhang Mingsuo, sanitation workers need to be respected by the society, and relevant departments must safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of sanitation workers, so that the public can understand that this is a noble and valuable job. Only in this way, sanitation workers will not worry that their rights and interests will not be guaranteed, and they will not worry about being discriminated against.
