Chapter 669: A Surprising Standard of Bereavement Benefits

Yang Jianzhong, the director of the Hongqi Coal Mine, the director of the Coal Bureau, and others rushed over before 10 o'clock. The mayor calls a meeting, and you step on it, then it is deliberately contemptuous.

Everyone sat in a circle in the hospitality sofa area, added two chairs to Yun temporarily, and sat next to him, picking up his notebook to take notes. This is a formal aftermath meeting, and it is necessary to have a record for reference.

Everyone's face was solemn, and there was not a hint of a smile in sight.

Liu Weihong sat in the middle of the couch, raised his eyes and slowly swept a few subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "Comrades, I invite everyone to come over today to discuss the aftermath of the 72 mine disaster...... I am responsible for this accident, and the string of safety production was not tightened, which led to such a tragedy, and six miner brothers were unfortunately killed. I review it to everyone! ”

No one could have imagined that Liu Weihong would be such an opener. After all, this is not a public occasion, nor is it a conference, and there are no superior leaders present, so Mayor Liu does not need to be like this.

"Really, some people may be thinking that thirty-seven people trapped in the well have now rescued thirty-one...... and "only six dead" is already very lucky, a great credit.

But, I don't think so! ”

Liu Weihong's voice was still low.

This is not without purpose. "Haoyang Daily" is indeed reporting on the outside world in the mode of "great merit". After the 72 mine disaster, the leaders at all levels of the province and the city paid full attention and attention, and the provincial leaders personally made instructions and demanded all-out rescue. The reporter of the daily newspaper followed the rescue process throughout the process. Now 32 miners have been successfully rescued, although one died on the way to the hospital, but after all, he came out of the wellhead alive, so the report of "Haoyang Daily" also successfully rescued 32 miners. The cause of the mining accident was gently brought across, and the focus of the report fell on the all-out rescue.

It should be said that this is a very old "crisis management method...... which turns bad things into good things. China's propaganda departments have always had no shortage of such masters of in-depth operation. And our wordplay is probably the most profound in the world. For example, the Chinese team defeated the American team, and we won; The report said that the Chinese team defeated the American team, but we still won.

The West is barbaric, vulgar and unwritten, where can we figure out the mystery?

Whether it is Cao Zhenqi or Song Xiaowei, they need newspapers to publicize it like this, which is closely related to their own future interests. As for the handling of the incident after the fact, the qualitative nature of the accident is an internal matter, and it can be dealt with strictly, but there is no need to mention it to the outside world.

"The six miners who died were the breadwinners of their families. As a result of this incident, six families completely lost their financial resources. We are all responsible, comrades! ”

Seeing Mayor Liu's heavy words, Yang Jianzhong lowered his head and said ashamedly: "Mayor Liu, this is my responsibility, and I will make a profound review to you." ”

Liu Weihong nodded and said: "The review should be done, not only should you do the review, but I will also do the review." Comrade Shuguo, the city's coal mine safety production inspection must be started immediately and cannot be delayed any longer. ”

Wang Shuguo hurriedly said: "Mayor, it has been activated. ”

"Well, this time you must be solid and not go through the motions. In particular, there must be a certain number of experienced and veteran workers, and not all of them are temporary workers. In the 72 mine disaster, if it weren't for a few old workers leading the team and running to Huifeng Lane in time, I don't know how many people would have died! Mine Manager Yang, you Hongqi Coal Mine should pay special attention to this issue. ”

"Yes, yes, I will resolutely implement the mayor's instructions!"

Yang Jianzhong hurriedly said as if he was determined.

Of all the people here at the moment, he is the most stressed. If you really want to deal with it, he is the first one who can't run away.

Liu Weihong was silent for a moment and said, "Next, let's discuss the matter of the pension." ”

Everyone's eyes fell on Yang Jianzhong's face again, he was the mine manager, and the people who died were all workers in his mine, so he naturally wanted to come up with a basic opinion. Moreover, there are also clear provisions on compensation for mining accidents.

This time, Yang Jianzhong did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Mayor, according to the regulations and previous practices, the total pension and funeral allowance for regular workers is 17,300 yuan, and the temporary workers are 9,800 yuan, which will be paid in a lump sum...... Of the miners who died this time, there were two regular workers, four of whom were temporary workers, and they lost about 80,000 yuan. Of course, there are a few who are hospitalized and have to pay medical bills. ”

The others were nothing, and Liu Weihong was almost stunned. Stunned.

Mayor Liu really didn't come back to his senses.

At this moment, his mind was completely stuck in another parallel world, the world before he was reborn. At that time, the minimum compensation for mining accidents had been raised to 600,000 yuan, and the high compensation was more than 1 million. Compensation for casualties caused by other traffic accidents is also in the hundreds of thousands. Now Yang Jianzhong has informed him of such a data.

"Temporary workers pay 9,800 yuan?"

After being stunned for a while, Liu Weihong asked in amazement.

"Yes, according to the regulations, this is the highest standard, why don't you discuss it again?"

Yang Jianzhong also replied in amazement, not understanding why Mayor Liu was so surprised. Could it be that Mayor Liu feels that he has lost too much? Several other people also looked at Liu Weihong with a little puzzlement.

"No, it's not ......"

Liu Weihong waved his hand again and again, speechless for a while. This is indeed a bit of a mess in his head, and there is really no way to equate a human life with 9,800 yuan.

"Nine thousand eight, isn't it a little too low?"

After a while, Liu Weihong asked.

Yang Jianzhong, Wang Shuguo and others looked at each other, and they didn't know how to answer Liu Weihong's words for a while, and at present, they basically didn't have the concept of "market economy" in their minds, especially the death pension, which was stipulated and everything should be handled in accordance with the regulations, but I don't know why Mayor Liu had such a question.

Naturally, Liu Weihong's consternation soon passed. It's not the twenty-first century, it's ninety-two. The formal salary of employees is only a few hundred yuan. According to the comparable price, the 9,800 yuan at this time is at least worth the hundreds of thousands in later generations. However, Liu Weihong still felt that something was wrong.

"Mayor, nine thousand eight is already the highest standard. In the first two years, if something happened to the small media kiln, it was generally three or four thousand yuan in compensation. ”

Wang Shuguo reminded carefully. Hongqi Coal Mine is a large state-owned mine, so naturally it cannot be compared with the standards of private small media kilns, so it is normal to lose a little more.

Liu Weihong shook his head and said: "The regulations are the regulations, and we still have to handle them according to the actual situation." There are 17,000 regular workers and 9,080 temporary workers, which I think is still a little lower. This standard can be raised appropriately. We have to take into account the actual situation of the families of the dead miners, tens of millions of yuan, their wives and children, can they live? For example, the situation in Li Qingwen's family, everyone should know about it, right? His parents are elderly, both are farmers, his wife is also a farmer, has two children to go to school, and owes a lot of debts. How long can they support this 17,000 yuan? ”

Wang Xie Guo was a little surprised.

In his mind, Liu Weihong has always been a strong character, decisive in killing, and never dragging his feet. Why did you become like this mother-in-law today?

After a while, Wang Shuguo said: "Mayor, otherwise, consider recruiting Li Qingwen's wife to work in the coal mine, so that she will have a source and can support her two children." ”

There are a few people here at the moment, and he dares to say a few words in front of Liu Weihong. After all, he is the deputy mayor and has a different status.

Liu Yihong still shook his head and said, "This is not a way. First, I don't know if his wife is suitable to work in the coal mine. Second, apart from Li Qingwen, what should the other five people do at home? Third, the Hongqi Coal Mine and other coal mines should carry out internal rectification and reduce personnel. It is inappropriate to use this method to solve the aftermath of the mining disaster. Compensation is compensation, and recruitment is recruitment, two different things, and cannot be confused. I think I'd rather raise the standard of bereavement benefits a little bit more and make them more operational. ”

Wang Shuguo asked tentatively: "What does the mayor mean, how much should this pension standard be raised?" ”

"At least double it!"

Liu Weihong did not hesitate at all and said categorically.

Wang Shuguo and the others looked at each other again.

"Mayor, double? This, is it appropriate? ”

After a while, Yang Jianzhong plucked up his courage and asked.

It's easy for your mayor to open his mouth, but all the money has to be paid by the Hongqi Coal Mine. Now the financial situation of the mine is full of holes, and Yang Jianzhong is worried about money every day, and he doesn't know where to get the 80,000 yuan pension plus medical storage expenses. This one is good, and he will double it as soon as he opens his mouth.

Liu Weihong waved his hand and said, "Don't care if it's suitable or not, that's it." In the future, this standard of bereavement compensation will be further raised. In a certain sense, this is also a wake-up call for everyone, we must pay attention to ANSHA production. In foreign countries, the standard of compensation for safety accidents is very high. They have a purpose, which is to respect life. Whoever ignores safe production will lose your family. I think this idea is worth learning from. If the compensation standard is not raised, it will be enough for a few thousand yuan to die, who will care about safe production? Who thought about the miners' families? ”

Speaking of this, Liu Weihong's tone has become very harsh.

Yang Jianzhong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he had something to say, but in the end he didn't dare to say it.

Seeing this posture, Wang Shuguo knew that Liu Weihong's determination had been made and it was difficult to change, so he said: "Mayor, if you want to raise the standard of bereavement pensions, you may have to hold an executive meeting of the municipal government to discuss it and form a document to have a basis." ”

"Yes. It is not only necessary to raise the standard of bereavement pensions, but also to severely punish those responsible for accidents caused by accidents in production safety, and to hold the principal leaders accountable. This matter must also be implemented. ”
