Taiyuan sanitation workers' salary and treatment 215

They went out in the first morning light and went home in the last sunset glow. They silently contributed to the cleanliness of the city. They are, like, city cleaners. However, the salary is meager, there are few rest days, they are older, and there are many injuries ... This is also their true portrayal. October 26th is the 19th Sanitation Workers' Day in our province. The reporter approached the frontline sanitation workers in the provincial capital to understand their living conditions.

Although the salary is improving year by year, it is still on the low side

51-year-old Jiang Taiwen is from Yangqu County, Taiyuan City. In 22, in order to make a living, he took his wife and daughter to work in Taiyuan. "Without culture and a good job, I became a sanitation worker." Jiang Taiwen said that it is almost 14 years before and after. "At first, it was 345 yuan a month, and then it has been rising, 1 yuan, 2 yuan, 5 yuan, and 1 yuan. Every time it is different, it has now risen to 2219 yuan." Jiang Taiwen said: "There is a lot of money, but it is getting less and less expensive. Now everything is expensive."

Jiang Taiwen told the reporter that his lover had polio as a child, and his body was a little defective, so he couldn't do heavy work. He had to stay at home and do some simple housework. His daughter was still in middle school, and his mother was seriously ill at home. His monthly salary was tight, just enough to maintain daily expenses. "The rent is 2 yuan, the electricity fee is 1 yuan, and the water fee is more than a dozen yuan. These are fixed expenses. My daughter's school will pay money from time to time. Today, 1 yuan, I will participate in activities and 5 yuan tomorrow. I have to buy medicine for my old mother every once in a while. I still have high blood pressure and dare not take medicine." Jiang Taiwen settled accounts for reporters. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something. He pointed to an old bicycle in front of him and said, "Some time ago, for the convenience of going to work, I bought a second-hand electric car for 2 yuan. I didn't ride it for long, so I was stolen from the battery and couldn't ride it. This car was just borrowed from others."

In the interview, the reporter learned that in recent years, although the wages of sanitation workers in Taiyuan are increasing year by year, they are still low. In Xinghualing District, Taiyuan City, where Jiang Taiwen is located, the salary is relatively high. In some districts and counties, the monthly salary of sanitation workers is only 1,425 yuan, even the monthly minimum average wage standard of full-time employment in six districts of Taiyuan City (1,62 yuan) is not reached.

The living conditions are bad and they are eager for more security

A family of three is crowded in a basement of more than 1 square meters. Because it is an old house, when the sewer is blocked, the roof will leak, and there are thick smells in the room, which are reflected in the property. People talk lightly and no one takes care of it. It often takes many days to deal with it ... This is the accommodation environment of his family described by Jiang Taiwen to reporters. During the interview, the reporter learned that because most sanitation workers come from other places and have low incomes, they can only rent a decent house in the basement. "After so many years, just to get more protection." Jiang Taiwen told reporters that he can't enjoy the national "pension" payment policy because he is over-aged, but according to the regulations of Xinghualing District, as long as he has worked for 15 years, he can enjoy the "retirement" treatment, that is, after he retires at the age of 6, the unit will also issue a certain pension subsidy. "Now I have retired, and I can get more than 1,4 yuan a month, which is quite a lot." Jiang Taiwen is full of expectations.

During the interview, many sanitation workers hoped to enjoy the national "pension". However, according to the regulations, employees can go through retirement formalities and issue pensions at retirement age after they have paid for 15 years. However, sanitation workers are generally over 4 years old and have paid for less than 15 years, and the labor and social security department can't issue pensions, but will refund the funds in the personal account of endowment insurance in one lump sum. Moreover, because the income level of sanitation workers is relatively low, many migrant workers choose sanitation work at first, and will leave this position once they have the opportunity, which also increases the obstacles for sanitation workers to apply for endowment insurance.

affected by the regional economic situation and market-oriented operation, the current situation of environmental sanitation workers in Taiyuan is not the same. Most of them should be able to enjoy accidental injury insurance, but they do not have pension insurance and medical insurance.

The age structure is too large, and most people look down on it when they are sick

Walking in the street, careful people may notice that most sanitation workers are too old. Shi Zhongying, deputy director of Taiyuan City Appearance and Environmental Sanitation Bureau, said that at present, there are 25, sanitation workers in Taiyuan City, and 8% of them are over 5 years old. "Although Taiyuan City has continuously raised the salary level of sanitation workers in recent years, on the whole, it still cannot attract young people to join. Coupled with a series of problems such as accommodation, catering and medical care, the life pressure of sanitation workers is actually very great." Shi Zhongyu said that in order to improve this situation as much as possible, the city appearance and environmental sanitation department is also trying to find ways to improve the living conditions of sanitation workers as much as possible and create an environment of "keeping people in mind". "Increasing the mechanized cleaning rate and reducing the labor intensity of sanitation workers is also one of the means to improve the working conditions of sanitation workers." Shi Zhongyu introduced that at present, the mechanized cleaning rate in Taiyuan City has exceeded 85%, and the scope is still expanding. The purpose is to reduce the labor intensity of sanitation workers and ensure the safety of operations.

47-year-old Hao Si 'ai is the captain of a cleaning team in yingze district. She told the reporter that many workers are sick, and they can pay rent, water and electricity, and after deducting the daily cost of food and clothing, their wages are running low. Most people are afraid to go to the hospital even if they are sick-because they have no money. During the interview, the reporter learned that sanitation workers get up early and get greedy for the dark, and deal with dust, dirt and garbage for many years, which is particularly prone to occupational diseases such as varicose veins, lumbar muscle strain and respiratory infection. In a charity medical activity carried out in Taiyuan in recent years, nearly 5, sanitation workers in the provincial capital received free medical examinations. According to statistics, among the sanitation workers examined, 45% suffer from internal diseases, 13% suffer from surgical diseases and 3% suffer from eye diseases such as cataracts. In addition, 23% of female sanitation workers suffer from gynecological diseases. During the physical examination, it was also found that many sanitation workers had never had a physical examination.

Being tired and tired is the most unbearable contempt and contempt

Zhang Shumei, 52, has been responsible for cleaning the mine street in the west of the province since she became a sanitation worker in 211. In the past four years, the biggest headache for her is small advertisements and vendors. Zhang Shumei told reporters that there is a primary school and a middle school on the road she cleaned, and there are many small vendors around the school, which often makes oil stains and garbage everywhere. And every time I go to school, the number of small advertisements will increase. Children don't pay attention. They often fly around with these pieces of paper and even tear them into pieces and scatter them all over the street. Zhang Shumei said that when it is serious, "the whole street is almost like a light snow." "Children are not sensible, but many adults are not conscious." Zhang Shumei said that once, she met a person licking melon seeds on the roadside, and the ground that had just been cleaned was covered with melon seeds. She stepped forward to dissuade her, and the other party also said, "That's what you do. I'll just lick it and clean it up." "Living by suffering is my life. I can bear the treatment almost, but I can't stand the feeling of being ridiculed. " Zhang Shumei said that sometimes, when the dust is being cleaned, people passing by will complain that the dust is too big and look contemptuous and contemptuous.

Zhang Shumei's eyes were a little wet when she said these things. She said: "it doesn't matter if you are physically tired, but it's hard to bear in your heart." People look down on sweeping the streets, but anyone who can make do with it will not do it. "

B Close-up of people

They are the pillars of the family and bear the burden of supporting their families. They are "urban beauticians" who polish the whole city with hard work and sweat.

On October 26th, they still stuck to their posts and silently cleaned every corner of the city. Our reporter approached them and listened to their inner voices.

Ms. Wang: Children will not suffer in the future if they study hard

Cleaning the road section: 2 years

At 1 o'clock on October 26th, at the intersection of Xiyi Lane, Bingzhou South Road, Tiyu Road, the provincial capital, Ms. Wang was digging out garbage from the flower pond on the roadside. Cleaning the car, there is her full set of tools: broom, shovel and so on. There is a bag of thick clothes on the handle of the sweeper, which she wore when she came from home in the morning. After cleaning, it was so hot that she took off her coat and put it in a bag.

Ms. Wang is a native of Taiyuan who lives in a village at the junction of Taiyuan and Qingxu. Asked her name, she didn't want to say it, just saying her surname was "Wang". The reporter said that she would write her name as Ms. Wang in the newspaper, and she laughed.

Ms. Wang, born in 1969, has two daughters. The eldest daughter is 2 years old and is in college, and the youngest daughter is 13 years old and is in junior high school. Before, Ms. Wang and her wife were both working at home. Two years ago, the eldest daughter began to go to college, and the expenses at home suddenly increased a lot. Ms. Wang became a cleaner. Because the place where she lives is far away from the cleaning place, Ms. Wang has to get up at 2 o'clock every morning and go home at eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Go home and clean up, and sleep time is basically squeezed out. Because of the long commute time every day, Ms. Wang pondered to rent a house near her work place. However, because the rent is too expensive, she has never been willing to give up.

Ms. Wang doesn't have a high education. She doesn't want to say much about her specific level of schooling, but laughs at herself. "She can't even play with her mobile phone." Having suffered from illiteracy, Ms. Wang attaches great importance to her children's education. She said that there was nothing she could do, and all she could do was "feed the children as well as possible, stop them from doing housework and give them more time to study". The fact that the eldest daughter was admitted to the university made Ms. Wang see the hope of the future. At that time, she decided to provide her daughter with education no matter how hard she suffered.

Ms. Wang's lover is a taxi driver, who earns about 3, yuan a month, plus 1,75 yuan earned by Ms. Wang, mainly for children to study. In the interview, an important reason why Ms. Wang didn't want to be named was that she didn't want her children's classmates to see it, which would embarrass the children. Ms. Wang said that her greatest wish is that children should study hard, be educated and not suffer in the future.

Li Jun: You can live a better life if you are well-off.

Cleaning section: Xuefu Street cleaning period: 2 years

At 1: 3 on October 26th, Li Jun rode a sweeper and was collecting the garbage that had just been cleaned. The garbage collected by Li Jun was just swept together by him and his companions. Every other way, there will be a pile, mostly leaves. In addition to gathering and sweeping the piles of leaves, he kept sweeping the leaves that had just fallen. Li Jun is usually responsible for the road section near Xuefu Street Sports Intersection, and this day was also temporarily transferred to help. Like other companions, Li Jun didn't complain and swept very carefully. As the leaves kept falling, the cleaning work also lasted from 3: 3 in the morning to more than 1 o'clock. After working for 7 hours, Li Jun didn't rest or shout.

Li Jun, a native of Linxian County, has been working as a sanitation worker in Taiyuan for two years. Two years ago, Li Jun and his wife were farming in their hometown, earning 2, to 3, yuan a year. Although the days are not too good, they are not too bad. A pair of children have good academic performance and have been admitted to the university. Because of this, there are more and more places to spend money, and Li Jun has to leave his hometown to work in Taiyuan. After looking for several jobs, Li Jun became a sanitation worker.

Li Jun earns 175 yuan a month, and his two children need about 14 yuan a month. He has to pay the rent in 2 yuan every month. The rest of the money, it is difficult to fill the stomach. Even so, Li Jun was never willing to use his wife's income from farming. In order to save money, Li Jun basically didn't go back to his hometown, and he tried to get rice noodles from his hometown to Taiyuan.

The children are all studying in Taiyuan, but Li Jun won't let them visit him where he lives. There are two reasons for this. First, the children need to spend money to run back and forth. Second, he is afraid that the children will feel sorry for him after seeing it. For Li Jun, it is more important for children to study with peace of mind than anything else.

Li Jun's family of four seldom meet each other. Only on holidays can we meet. The reporter asked Li Jun what his wishes were. He thought about it and said that the economy is better and life can be better. When he said this, his words choked.

Li Guiqin: Work harder for a few years to reduce the burden on the children

Cleaning the road section: Cleaning the Qinxian Street: 3 years

At 9 o'clock on October 26th, Li Guiqin was cleaning the falling leaves with his companions at the entrance of the middle school affiliated to Shanxi University in the west street of the provincial capital. The west street of dock city is a road that is not wide, and trees are planted on both sides. As soon as the wind blows, the leaves fall. Li Guiqin and his companions did not dare to have a moment's rest, so they swept over and over again.

56-year-old Li Guiqin has two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter is married, the second daughter helps her sister look after the children, and the youngest son is studying in a technical secondary school. Li Guiqin, a native of Jinzhong, has lived in Taiyuan for decades. Her wife works in a state-owned enterprise and she has been doing housework at home. Before the eldest daughter got married, the family huddled in a 6-square-meter house, living on his wife's salary and living a tight life. Seeing that the children are getting bigger and bigger, the family really can't live. Three years ago, Li Guiqin and his wife decided to buy another house with a loan.

after buying a house, life at home is even tighter. In order to supplement the family, Li Guiqin and his retired wife started cleaning. Get up at 3: a.m. every day and get to work at 3: 3 to start the first general sweep. It was already 6 o'clock after the first general sweep. I went home to have a rest after dinner and went to work again at 7 o'clock. I had to work until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. This kind of work, Li Guiqin and his wife have been working for three years. Usually, Li Guiqin and his wife are mainly responsible for cleaning the section of Qinxian North Street. On the 26th, she was temporarily transferred to West Street of Dock City to help clean up. Even if it was a temporary help, Li Guiqin worked very carefully, and she had to clean up the fallen leaves in the corner and puddle. "As far as we are concerned, we don't usually cook, and cooking is also the cheapest dish. When the child is growing up, you can't lose the child. " Every month, the son's living expenses are 8 yuan, Li Guiqin and his wife 5 yuan, which is enough. His wife has a monthly retirement salary of more than 2, yuan, and Li Guiqin and his wife have a monthly income of 3,5 yuan. In addition to the expenses of 13 yuan, two people generally don't spend money, so they will pay the house quickly if they save money. "If you pay back the money earlier, you will have less interest." Li Guiqin said.

Speaking of wishes, Li Guiqin smiled. She said that some time ago, the cleaning team partially retired the sweepers who were over 55 years old, leaving them to work hard. Her wish is to work for a few more years and try to reduce the burden on the children.
