Pingdingshan Cotton Mill workers went on strike for a week. The Pingdingshan Police Security Expert Bureau mobilized more than 2,000 police officers from the city’s public security experts to expel the troublemakers and arrested several main troublemakers

There are pictures to prove it

The company has changed its name and structure several times since its establishment in 1983. The equipment has aged, the brains have been drained, and corrupt officials have appeared one after another. They do not seek benefits for the employees of the company, but only use unscrupulous means for personal gain. .

In the past half month, the factory gate of the "Henan Pingmian Textile Group" located in the middle of Jianshe Road in Pingdingshan City has been attacked by factory employees with slogans such as "Pingmian street children asking for hard-earned money" and "Severe punishment and beating". Slogans such as "The murderer of Zhang Xianshun" blocked the gate of Henan Pingmian Textile Group, making it impossible for employees working in the factory to enter the factory and employees after get off work to get out.

During this period, senior leaders of Pingdingshan Cotton Textile Factory had conversations with employees on site. The dissatisfied employees were very excited and threw mineral water bottles at them, leaving them in a state of embarrassment. This incident alarmed the municipal party committee, the deputy mayor and the secretary-general of the municipal party committee who personally came to the scene to stabilize the mood of the employees. Several cars of pol.ice from the riot team of the Municipal Police Security Expert Bureau and the Weidong Police Security Expert Branch came, but no one came. Can calm the situation.

The reason for this incident is that part of the Pingmian Textile Group bought out the employees with seniority but did not receive the compensation they deserved. Many old workers who had worked in Pingmian since the factory was built, suffered from After working hard for more than 20 years, I only received a few thousand yuan in compensation when I bought out my seniority. Due to low wages and poor working conditions, current employees have demanded improvements in the working environment and increased wage standards.

The employees of Pingdingshan Cotton Textile Factory are too poor. The whole family lives on plain cotton, and the couple's combined salary is only about 1,500 yuan. They also have to take care of their children, and they don't even have enough to eat. Apprentices who just joined the factory earn less than 300 yuan per month. Such a salary standard is difficult to find not only in urban areas, but also in remote mountainous areas and counties. What's more, they work three shifts, no matter morning, noon or night shifts. They start running non-stop as soon as they go to work. They can run more than 50 times in one shift. miles, and the temperature in the workshop is very high. In summer, workers often faint due to heat stroke due to excessive temperatures. During the high temperature season in summer, ambulances are often parked at the door of the workshop, ready to pick up workers who have fainted. The highest temperature in the workshop can reach 42 degree or above.

The other most hateful things are: 1. More than 67 million yuan in bankruptcy compensation (identity replacement money) disappeared without a trace (at that time, without the knowledge of the employees, the factory sent people from Maoming to sign on their behalf, but the actual workers did not pay a cent 2. Tens of millions of workers’ pensions are owed so far (workers’ monthly wages are deducted from their pensions); 3. The money from the recent sale of land has disappeared (the factory land has basically been sold by Zhang Xianshun). 4. The main leaders of cotton spinning mills have taken advantage of the loopholes in the state's enterprise reform policy in the past few years. They have restructured enterprises several times and transformed state-owned assets into private and private ownership. Earned huge profits of more than 300 million yuan. Among them, the statutory enterprise stock capital interests of employees who have been bought out and retired due to illness are included. The labor union also put more than 3.4 million yuan in union relief funds over the years into the pockets of individual leaders. As the leader of the Labor Department, he was even more audacious, charging NT$20,000 to NT$30,000 in benefits from each employee who retired due to illness, embezzling and deducting workers' hard-earned money.

On May 25, the municipal party committee coordination group and public security experts came to mediate, and physical conflicts occurred. On the 26th, the dispersed striking workers gathered again and "camped" at the entrance of the factory, preparing to fight against corrupt officials.

The latest news on the afternoon of May 26: At the coordination meeting held by the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to resolve the strike of plain cotton workers, the request of the employee representatives to remove the corrupt factory director was not met. The meeting broke up unhappy.

In fact, the employees' requirements are not high, they just want to get the part that belongs to them.
