Facing the first ray of morning sun out, wearing the last touch of evening sunshine to go home, they are for the sake of the city's cleanliness, silent dedication. They are the cleaners of the city. However, the salary is meager, rarely have a day off, the age of the older, more injuries and diseases ...... This is also their true portrayal. October 26 is the province's 19th Sanitation Workers' Day, the reporter approached the provincial city of a line of sanitation workers, to understand the status quo of their survival.

The treatment has been improving year by year, but it is still low

The 51-year-old Jiang Taiwen is a native of Yangqu County, Taiyuan City, and in 2002, in order to make ends meet, he took his wife and daughter to work in Taiyuan. "There is no culture, and can not find any good work, as a sanitation worker." Jiang Taiwen said, counting, before and after almost 14 years. "At the beginning, 345 dollars a month, and then it has been rising, 10, 20, 50, 100, each time is not quite the same, and now rose to 2,219 dollars." Jiang Taiwen said, "Money is more, but more and more do not spend, now everything is expensive."

Jiang Taiwen told reporters that his lover had polio as a child, the body is a little defective, can not do heavy work, can only stay at home, do some simple chores, his daughter is still in middle school, the family has a seriously ill old mother, his monthly salary is tight, just enough to maintain daily expenses. "Rent 200, electricity 100, water bill more than ten dollars, these are fixed expenses, daughter's school from time to time to let the money, today 100, to participate in activities, tomorrow 50, to buy things, every once in a while also have to buy medicine for the old mother, I have high blood pressure, and do not dare to take medication." Jiang Taiwen to the reporter to calculate the account. Suddenly, it seems to think of something, he pointed to a worn-out bicycle in front of him, said: "Some time ago, in order to go to work for the convenience of spending 200 dollars to buy a second-hand electric car, did not ride for a long time, it was stolen battery, but also can not ride, this car or just borrowed and others."

In the interview, the reporter learned that in recent years, the wages of sanitation workers in Taiyuan City, although rising year by year, but still low. Jiang Taiwen in Taiyuan City, Xinghualing District, relatively high wages, there are individual districts and counties, sanitation workers monthly wages of only 1,425 yuan, and even the six urban areas of Taiyuan City, the average monthly minimum wage standard for full-time workers (1,620 yuan) are not reached.

Poor living conditions and the desire for more protection

A family of three crammed into a basement of more than ten square meters, because it is an old house, a blocked sewer, the roof will leak, and there is a stench permeated in the room, and the property to reflect the slightest person, no one to take care of it, and often have to go on for many days to be able to deal with it! ...... This is Jiang Taiwen described to the reporter his family's accommodation. Interview, the reporter learned, because most sanitation workers are from the field, low income, can not afford to rent a decent house, they can only rent in the basement. "Stayed up for so many years, just to have more security." Jiang Taiwen told reporters that because of the overage does not meet the conditions, they can not enjoy the national "pension" issuance policy, but, in accordance with the provisions of the Xinghualing District, as long as enough to do 15 years, you can enjoy the "retirement" treatment, that is, to his retirement at the age of 60 years old, the unit will also be issued a fixed amount of pension. The unit will also be issued a fixed amount of pension subsidies. "Now there are retired, each month can receive more than 1400 yuan, really quite a lot." Jiang Taiwen is full of expectations.

Interviews, many sanitation workers want to enjoy the national "pension". However, in accordance with the provisions of the employee contributions to the full 15 years, can be in the retirement age for retirement procedures and pension, but sanitation workers are generally in the age of 40 years old, less than 15 years of contributions, the Department of Labor and Social Security can not be issued a pension, but will be the funds of the personal account of the pension insurance a one-time refund. And because of the relatively low level of income of sanitation workers, many urban workers began to choose sanitation work, once the opportunity to leave this position, but also for sanitation workers for pension insurance increased obstacles.

Affected by the regional economic situation and market-oriented operation, the current situation of sanitation workers in Taiyuan City on the insurance is not the same, most should be able to enjoy the accidental injury insurance, but the pension insurance, medical insurance, etc. are not.

The age structure of the majority of people can not afford to see the disease

Walking on the street, careful people may notice that most sanitation workers are older. Taiyuan City, deputy director of the Bureau of Municipal Sanitation and Hygiene when Zhongying introduced, at present, Taiyuan City *** have 25,000 sanitation workers, more than 50 years of age accounted for 80%. "Despite the fact that in recent years Taiyuan has continuously raised the salary level of sanitation workers, on the whole, it is still unable to attract young people to join them, and coupled with a series of problems such as lodging, catering, and medical care, the pressure on the lives of sanitation workers is actually very great." Shi Zhongying said, in order to try to improve the situation, the city sanitation department is also trying to find ways to improve the living conditions of sanitation workers as much as possible, to create a "heart to stay" environment. "Increase the rate of mechanized cleaning, reduce the labor intensity of sanitation workers, which is also one of the means to improve the working conditions of sanitation workers." When Zhongying introduced, at present, Taiyuan City, the mechanized sweeping rate has exceeded 85%, and is still expanding the scope, the purpose is to reduce the labor intensity of sanitation workers, to ensure operational safety.

47-year-old Hao Si Ai is a sweeping team leader in Yingze District, she told reporters that many workers are suffering from diseases, but pay the rent, water, electricity, and then remove the daily food and clothing, the wages have very little left, and most people even if they have a disease do not dare to go to the hospital - because of the lack of money. Interview, the reporter learned that sanitation workers work early and late, and dust, dirt, garbage, especially vulnerable to varicose veins, lumbar muscle strain, respiratory tract infections and other occupational diseases.

According to statistics, 45% of the sanitation workers examined suffered from internal diseases, 13% suffered from surgical diseases, 3% . . suffered from eye diseases such as cataracts. In addition, 23% of the female sanitation workers suffered from gynecological diseases. The physical examination also found that many sanitation workers have never had a physical examination.

Nearly 4 years, the most headache for her is small ads and vendors. Zhang Shumei told reporters that in the road she cleaned, there is an elementary school, a middle school, there are many vendors around the school, often make oil stains, garbage everywhere. And every time to and from school, distribution of small ads will also increase, the children do not pay attention, often take these pieces of paper flying around, and even torn into pieces, scattered all over the street. Zhang Shumei said, serious times, "the whole street and a small snow almost." "Children don't know any better, but many adults don't realize it either." Zhang Shumei said, once, she came across a person on the side of the road high melon seeds, just swept the ground is full of melon peels, she went forward to discourage, the other side also said: "You are doing this, I'm high under you sweep clean not on the line." "Bitter for a living, is my life. I can afford to be treated badly, but I can't stand the feeling of being taunted." Zhang Shumei said, sometimes, is cleaning, dust raised, passing people will also complain about the dust is too big, a face of contempt and contempt.

Said these things, Zhang Shumei corner of the eye a little moist. She said: "physical tiredness does not matter, the heart of the tired but hard to bear. People look down on street sweepers, but anyone who can make ends meet, do not do this."
