People all hope to earn income by working with their hands, so that their lives and those of their families can become better and better. The salary is limited, but health is priceless. I think the thing that workers fear most is that the money they earn is not enough to treat diseases.
Mr. Liu from Xinmi works in a shoe factory. There are always eight people in their shoe factory, all of whom suffer from aplastic anemia to varying degrees. I won't share this disease with you, so I can look up the information by myself, and I can only tell you that this disease is serious and needs bone marrow transplantation.
Mr. Liu said that in the second half of last year, the factory bought a batch of glue for sticking soles, and this glue should be a three-no product, because there is no name of the manufacturer or product on the barrel, and the taste is bigger than the glue used before, and it is pungent. Not long after this batch of glue came, some workers began to faint, so the company asked everyone to have a physical examination and found that the platelets, red blood cells and white blood cells of the workers were seriously reduced.
It can also be seen from the video of news reports that this factory is basically closed, and there is no ventilator in the whole room, and the vents are basically closed, so it is easy for people to inhale toxic gases instead of breathing fresh air.
Mr. Liu also explained that in total, 8 people were diagnosed with aplastic anemia, 5 people had severe symptoms, 3 people had mild symptoms, and even two of them had bone marrow transplantation.
Some workers with a little knowledge sent the samples to a testing center in Beijing, and the benzene content in this batch of products was seriously exceeded. People with medical knowledge should know that benzene may induce aplastic anemia.
Now the workers have sent the samples of that batch of products to the testing center again. Whether this batch of products caused the workers to get sick is still under investigation. Law is a tool to protect us. We must learn more about law in our daily work and use legal weapons to safeguard our rights and interests when necessary.
