Employ temporary staff
Forced to dissolve labor relations
Since the beginning of 1998, more than 130 workers have been lead smelter temporary recruitment of migrant workers, so many years, the company should establish the facts of labor relations, some for as long as 10 years.
, Some workers signed a provisional intermittent employment agreement, but did not sign a formal labor contracts, nor for the "three dangerous." In a minority of workers from Gansu, Sichuan, and other places, but most of the labor force in Fengxian.
"Sometimes we are workshop, the leadership of the company suddenly received orders to stop production, let the people go home. Companies that actually moves the departments concerned to deal with the higher level of inspection." A surname Ho said that the workers.
It is understood that because of the factory's workers officially no one is willing to work to the forefront, smelters can only move migrant workers from outside.
Nonferrous metals mining company in Shaanxi Sancha, a town in Fengxian, is a concentration of lead and zinc mining Shuaye the integration of state-owned enterprises, a lead smelter is a subsidiary of the two units.
November 26, 2007, the mining company ordered the demolition of the lead smelter closure of the ground for more than 130 temporary workers will be forced to "dissolution of the labor agreement for the" dismissal of the way, the application of the contents: "I apply for the voluntary disarmament labor relations and smelters to accept the compensation package. their physical condition and lead normal indicators, thus no remaining issues.

Workers seek interests:
Require identification of occupational diseases
In fact, more than 120 workers will ultimately forced to "application", there are currently 11 companies did not accept such practices.
To seek to their own legitimate rights, which has more than 130 workers in two batches respectively Fengxian to the Labor Dispute Arbitration Committee submitted a "labor dispute arbitration applications", the Ombudsman requested primarily to allow the smelter to pay pension insurance, medical insurance , housing provident fund, and their professional identification of occupational diseases, as well as payments related losses. At present, Fengxian labor arbitration committee has received the complaint.
On the matter, the function of Shaanxi catch-lawyer law firm that smelter seriously violated the labor laws and regulations. First, the enterprises intermittent temporary employment agreement and the signing was not signed labor contracts with the obvious acts contrary to the law, with more than 130 workers is a fact that the company labor relations. Secondly, the enterprises to sign mandatory "for dissolution of the labor agreement" approach, forcing workers to lift the labor relations and corporate enterprises should evade their obligations. Again, if this 130 workers were identified as occupational diseases, labour laws and regulations enterprises should be responsible for treatment and compensation. Finally, enterprises should also related to social insurance for workers procedures.

March 7, non-ferrous metal mines in Shaanxi Province companies to respond. The blood usually fell workers will also require the enterprises for their occupational identification.
Because there's usually fell 48 lead workers, the basic pay is the normal physical, occupational diseases has not identified.

However, the people said that they did not fill out an application to the company seal.
"We are the main labor force at home, relying on physical eat it, after Zaban? We must seek justice, called for identification of occupational diseases," a worker surnamed Huang representative said.
Baoji City Health Bureau deputy director Ning Jianguo said that the matter they have regulatory responsibility will be to assign to the hospital for these workers usually fell lead case investigation, supervision, the factory workers on further medical examinations, and bear the medical expenses, if the owners violated the relevant laws and regulations, workers identified as occupational diseases, they will be investigated and dealt with the matter seriously.
March 7 evening, in Baoji Petroleum Hospital for treatment of lead poisoning of 19 workers, three workers after more than half a month of treatment, the effect Obviously, the lead has been restored to normal, will be discharged today, but must observe for a period of time. At present, the Standing Committee of the county party committee, the secretary of the Politics and Law Committee Wang Chuan-specifically responsible for the supervision and handling the matter. from:http://news.163.com/08/0311/12/46OLBCQT0001124J.html
