Wang Dazhuang is a worker at a cement factory on the outskirts of Zhangjiakou, and although this year's 300,000-ton cement plant is at best the level of a township enterprise in the eyes of later generations, it can be called one of the largest cement factories in Chahar and even in China.

Since the 25th year of the Republic of China, due to the rapid development of Chahar industry and the needs of railways, highways and infrastructure, the demand for cement has also increased. With the tight supply of cement, the work of the cement plant is getting busier and busier, and it is common for workers to work more than 12 hours a day.

In the first two months, Wang Da Zhuangzi found that he often felt stuffy, and he often felt like vomiting and coughing, and he didn't care at first, thinking that he was too tired from work to cause physical discomfort. But since the beginning of this month, this feeling has become even stronger, and one day in the middle of this month, the old worker who had worked in the cement factory for five years finally vomited blood and collapsed.

The workers sent Wang Dazhuang directly to the First Hospital of Zhangjiakou Division, and after an examination by the hospital, it was found that because he had worked in the cement factory for too long and the production environment of the factory was too bad, the factory owner did not give the workers any protective measures on weekdays, resulting in him suffering from advanced lung cancer, and he died on the third day after the hospital rescue was ineffective.

After Wang Dazhuang's death, the boss of the factory did not pay attention to the matter at all, except for paying half a month's salary to Wang Dazhuang's family. Er is that this amount of money is not enough to handle Wang Dazhuang's funeral, and in the end, it was Wang Dazhuang's former workers who got together to bury Wang Dazhuang.

As soon as Wang Dazhuang died, leaving behind his wife and two children, their lives suddenly fell into an embarrassment, and she took her two children to find Wang Dazhuang's factory before his death and wanted to find the factory owner to ask for compensation. However, the boss of the factory actually said that he had paid her Wang Dazhuang's monthly salary (fifteen yuan), which was already the end of benevolence and righteousness, and Wang Dazhuang died, "That shows that Wang Dazhuang's family has nothing to do with the factory, and in this way, the orphan and widow's wife were sent out."

Out of the gate of the factory, the lady who felt that there was no hope of surviving came to the door of the Zhangjiakou Provincial Government and knelt down to ask for justice", which aroused the onlookers of the general public, and a reporter from Chahar Daily passed by and asked for details, and he was filled with righteous indignation, and he immediately poked out the matter.

This incident was reported by the Chahar Daily, which immediately caused an uproar, and soon even Xi Hanqian, the secretary general of the Chahar Provincial Government, knew about it.

"How can this be reasonable, it's too unreasonable, who gave this boss such a big guts" A human life! Fifteen oceans will send people away? That's not enough money for other people's burial expenses! Xi Hanqian, who took the case after reading the newspaper, was furious.

"Check! Let the prosecutor find out for me and then have him convicted! Xi Hanqian, who was furious, gave instructions.

As prosecutors conducted their investigations, they were surprised to find that with the development of the economy, similar cases in Chahar have shown an increasing trend in recent years. On the one hand, businessmen are pouring in to invest in Chahar and opening more and more factories, but the relevant laws and regulations have not been improved in a timely manner, so prosecutors and judges cannot find corresponding laws and regulations to deal with similar cases, which also makes the officials of the judicial department scratch their heads.

After understanding the situation, Xi Hanqian had no choice but to send a telegram to Su Tong in Siberia, reporting the situation here, originally Xi Hanqian didn't expect his boss to pay any attention, but he didn't expect that on the third day, he received a book sent to him by air from his boss from Siberia, "The title of the book is "Chahar Labor Protection Law".

There was also a letter next to this "Labor Protection Law," instructing Xi Hanqian to jointly promulgate and implement it in Chahar and other four provinces on the first day of next month, and that it must be implemented as a top priority.

Xi Hanqian, who did not dare to slack off, did not dare to make his own decisions after reading the "Labor Law Protection Law" in one night, and called officials and legal experts from the Provincial Department of Civil Affairs to study the first set of protection laws in China.

"Secretary-General Xi, look at these terms, are they too harsh!" As expected, not long after the secretaries handed over this thick protection law, some officials raised their own objections.

"Yes, Secretary General Xi has never seen such a harsh law, so it simply offends all the merchants." An old expert with white hair couldn't help but say.

"Eight hours a day, five days a week" must not force workers to work overtime. Occupations with high danger also need to buy insurance and subsidies for workers! This, that's too much. A young government clerk shouted as well.

Hearing people's discussions, Xi Hanqian also frowned, and when he saw this "Labor Protection Law" for the first time last night, he was also taken aback in his heart. This statute includes almost everything that can happen, and the detailed and detailed book has hundreds of pages to make Xi Hanqian's scalp tingle. Is this really something that Su "Lord" wrote in two days? He preferred to believe that this was a premeditated plan by Chairman Su.

Not to mention China, even Europe now does not have such a detailed protection law and regulations specifically to protect the rights and interests of workers. It is no wonder that even experts in the legal field were moved by this regulation as soon as it came out.

In this way, everyone shouted for a long time, but they still couldn't come up with a reason, and in the end, Xi Hanqian decided to publish all this protection law in the newspaper and make a special issue, so that all the people could discuss whether to implement this law or not.

This law and regulation implemented by the chief Su is derived from the law of the same name in later generations, and the chief Su Da, who has been a wage earner for more than ten years, hates the unscrupulous factory day and night overtime. After twelve hours of high-intensity work a day, the iron man will tremble, but the salary given by the boss every month is not much left after buying oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

The report sent by Xi Hanqian evoked the memories buried in the heart of Chief Su, so this later generation of wage earners spent one night deleting some things that were too advanced in the detailed rules of the "Labor Law" that did not conform to this society, and the first regulations to protect the rights and interests of laborers in this era were promulgated.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Chahar's first labor law was introduced! ”

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! China's first law on the protection of workers' rights and interests is released! ”

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! Businesses say, is this protection or power? ”

Chahar is boiling, and many big cities in China are also boiling, but the strange thing is that the major media across the country are rarely losing their voices en masse.

For the first time, the major newspapers felt a dilemma, and if they spoke for the workers, it was the first time that they were so sympathetic to these businessmen and bosses, and they had encountered such harsh laws and regulations.

If you talk to the bosses and the merchants, you will be the enemy of all the workers in the country, and if you don't want to be spit on in the streets, you better not do such stupid things.

Workers from all walks of life in Chahar and employees of many companies were so encouraged that they took to the streets to celebrate the birth of the law and demand that the government enact it as soon as possible.

The Chahar Chamber of Commerce today gathers almost all the merchants and factory owners from all walks of life in Chahar, and their purpose is the same, which is to prevent the promulgation and enforcement of this law.

"Damn, what kind of bullshit is this, if we all follow this law, we will not survive. This is an invitation to a worker, this is simply an invitation to an uncle. "One of the factory owners was the first to attack.

"That's right, in all dynasties and dynasties, who has ever seen such harsh laws and regulations, this is to force us to death!" A businessman said movingly.

At this time, someone said: "Boss Li, I heard that your shoe factory has to work fourteen hours a day, and I heard that you make a lot of money!" ”

"I let them work for 14 hours, but they also volunteered, I didn't force them, and I also gave them overtime pay!" After hearing this, Boss Li said confidently.

"Really? But how did I hear that last month you often exhausted a dozen workers because of excessive overtime. "This one is still unrelenting.

Boss Li was angry, and his fat basin shook: "The surname is Wu, don't think I don't know your, your garment factory doesn't work overtime." You're no better than me. ”

Just when everyone was arguing into a pot of porridge, Huang Rongxing, the cheap old man of Chief Su, sat on the seat of the "Lord" table and said nothing.

Because of Su Tong's connections, he was elected by everyone as the president of the Chahar Chamber of Commerce, responsible for coordinating the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and the government and formulating some rules and regulations of the Chamber of Commerce.

Since Huang Rongxing became the "chief" of this chamber of commerce, the officials of the Chahar government have looked at the face of the chief of the Soviet Union, and some things on weekdays have given him face. Therefore, Huang Rongxing's popularity and prestige in the Chamber of Commerce are also increasing day by day.

After reading the "Labor Law" in the newspaper yesterday, he knew his son-in-law very well, and he knew that his son-in-law was determined to promulgate this law and regulations. After reading this regulation, he pondered it carefully and found that in fact, this regulation is not too uncomfortable to say, but that these businessmen and bosses treat their employees too harshly on weekdays.

In fact, as an industry insider, he didn't know the thoughts of these bosses, some people would rather throw all their money into nightclubs than pay workers even a dollar more. Although Chahar has also enacted some regulations on the protection of workers, they are too rudimentary and there are too many loopholes to exploit.
