Not worth a hundred or two hundred dollars.
A person in charge of Fu Mine: "I am the leader of the largest beggar gang in the local area." Last year and before the Spring Festival this year, a reporter from the Economic Information Daily came to Wang Xiujie's house twice and saw that the house stood alone on a slope, and the house was well ventilated.
cold.
"There is no heating, and my feet are as cold as cat bites. I have to wear a thick cotton hat when sleeping at night." As he spoke, the 70-year-old mother, who lived with Wang Xiujie, cried bitterly.
In the 1970s and 1980s, some state-owned enterprises established a number of affiliated collective enterprises (referred to as factory-run collectives) to provide employment to the educated youth who returned to the city and the children of their employees, mainly to provide supporting products or labor services to the host state-owned enterprises.
With the reform of state-owned enterprises and the development of the market economy, these large factory-run collectives have suspended production in large numbers due to problems such as ineffective mechanisms, redundant personnel, and weak market competitiveness, and a large number of employees have been laid off.
In accordance with relevant legal provisions, enterprises should terminate labor relations with laid-off employees, provide them with financial compensation, fulfill their social insurance payment obligations, and include them in the social security system.
During the transformation and revitalization process of Liaoning's old industrial base, a series of policies and measures have been implemented focusing on the reform of state-owned enterprises. About 1.8 million laid-off employees of state-owned enterprises have integrated basic living security into unemployment insurance, and have been included in the social security system and re-employment projects.
However, the problem of large-scale factory-run collectives involving hundreds of thousands of laid-off workers has not been fundamentally solved.
“Collective enterprises are unable to pay financial compensation to employees who have terminated their labor relations, and they have not paid pension and medical insurance premiums for many years. Employees cannot receive pensions when they reach retirement age. They have no money for medical care when they are sick, and their lives are in trouble for a long time. Life is really difficult these days!
"A person in charge of a collective enterprise in the Fushun Mining Area said helplessly in an interview with a reporter from the Economic Information Daily, "I should be regarded as the largest 'gang leader' in the local area. I have to go everywhere to ask for money and materials, and help employees in need.
With the efforts of governments at all levels, Yuan Baofu and his family were included in the subsistence allowance, but the monthly subsistence allowance of 600 to 700 yuan for the family still cannot fundamentally solve the problem: it costs more than 80 yuan to buy a gas tank every month, and his son takes the bus back and forth to school.
The car and lunch costs more than 300 yuan. The tuition fee of 2,200 yuan per semester can be reduced by 1,700 yuan. You have to bear 500 yuan. After deducting the water, electricity, and heating expenses, the family has little money left for food; more importantly
What’s more, there is no medical insurance for medical treatment and no pension for retirement.
A reporter from the "Economic Information Daily" learned from an investigation that Liaoning's large factory-run collectives are mainly concentrated in enterprises such as Fukuang Affiliated Enterprise, Anshan Iron and Steel Company Affiliated Enterprise, Fukuang Mining Diversified Operating Company and other enterprises. The total number of people is about 200,000, which is the most concentrated and concentrated in the province.
The group with the largest number of people and the most difficult life.
These enterprises are in extremely difficult operating conditions and are in arrears with various domestic debts such as social insurance premiums and wages for laid-off workers. Among them, the situation of the Fuzhou Mining Collective Enterprises is the most serious.
Because employee pension insurance premiums are in arrears, many collective enterprise employees are unable to receive pensions when they reach retirement age, and their lives are becoming increasingly difficult.
In order to obtain pensions, employees were forced to borrow from here and there. In addition to making up personal contributions, they also had to pay the premium that should have been borne by the company. Some even had to advance nearly 20,000 yuan in premiums for the company. They wanted to transfer their pension
The gold card is given to the creditor, and money is deducted monthly to repay the debt. It usually takes two years to pay off the debt before you can receive your pension.
Shi Ying, deputy director of the Fukuang Collective Enterprise Bureau, said: "By the end of 2010, collective enterprise employees had advanced insurance premiums of more than 190 million yuan for the company. All of this money was borrowed from their relatives and friends. Huge debts were weighing on them, and their lives were even more difficult.
To make matters worse, tens of thousands of people will retire in the next five years, and it is increasingly urgent to solve the problem of pension insurance for employees in need! "In an interview, a reporter from the "Economic Information Daily" learned that more than 1,700 employees of the Fuzhou Mining Collective Enterprise Construction Company were laid off, and only a few employees were left in the company.
left-behind personnel.
Female worker Wang Xiujie was paralyzed in both legs due to a car accident. She and her mother lived in a simple shed for more than ten years, relying on a monthly subsistence allowance of more than 500 yuan to survive.
Last year and before the Spring Festival this year, the reporter came to Wang Xiujie's house twice and saw that the house stood alone on a slope, and the house was drafty and cold.
"There is no heating, and my feet are as cold as cat bites. I have to wear a thick cotton hat when sleeping at night." As he said this, the 70-year-old mother who lived with Wang Xiujie cried bitterly.
Yuan Baofu opened the upper end of the prosthesis and found that some parts had cracked.
He told reporters: "Normally, prostheses should be replaced every two years, but replacing a prosthetic limb costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. How can I have the money to replace it? I haven't replaced it in six or seven years." Due to arrears in medical insurance and work-related injury insurance premiums, the pensioner
More than 30,000 laid-off workers in collective mining enterprises have basically no medical coverage.
Grassroots cadres who have been dealing with laid-off workers for many years told the Economic Information Daily reporter that because there is no money for medical treatment, many workers' minor illnesses turn into serious illnesses, and the phenomenon of poverty due to illness is becoming more and more prominent.
According to statistics from Anshan Iron and Steel Company, more than 6,100 laid-off workers suffer from serious diseases such as tumors, cerebral thrombosis, and heart disease, accounting for more than 6% of the total number of employees.
It is understood that the collective enterprises of Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. and Fuzhou Mining Co., Ltd. owe laid-off workers 5.6 billion yuan in medical expenses, and the average age of death of laid-off workers is getting younger.
The reporter learned that although government departments at all levels in Liaoning Province have adopted temporary relief measures, the limited relief funds are still a drop in the bucket for this huge group of people in need, such as factory-run collectives.
Before the Spring Festival this year, the Liaoning Provincial Government continued to allocate 2.5 million yuan in relief funds to the Fuzhou Mining Collective Enterprise. The average per capita was only a few dozen yuan, which employees called "dumpling money."
