do you still remember this news? In December 2006, the Construction Committee of Shandong Ji'nan issued an urgent notice requiring construction units to "add meat" to the food of migrant workers.
in your impression, is the food in the bowl of the peasant workers in the construction site "potato, Chinese cabbage, how many pieces of fat meat"?
today, most of the meals on the site are the responsibility of the contractor or the construction unit ("the package"). Is the "boss" still to save the cost and "steal the work" on the food?
if you think "no meat" work hard, then, in the construction site is full of older migrant workers today, "meat eating" behind, perhaps more bitter.
2013 is Xie Guowan's "happiest" year when she goes out to work. This year, he was 59 years old and had been sick for 2 months, but the job provided by the contractor was the best in his career. "A half kilo of meat every day, sometimes it falls off." In
2014, Xie Guowan returned to the "meat eating" site to sell coolies. In 2015, he once again went out to work. An important condition for him to choose his job at the age of 61 was that he had better food and more meat.
Xie Guo Wan explained the reason for "picky" food: the wage of a labor force is basically calculated on a daily basis. At the construction site, physical strength can make more money and less strength.
the contractor Li Jia Hai told www.thepaper.cn, his workers over 50 years of age and more than 90% of the migrant workers, these older migrant workers engaged in heavy manual work, most of the time to rely on meat to supplement their physical strength, "as long as a day does not eat meat, the heart is flare."
surging news found that the phenomenon of "relying on meat to maintain physical strength" is quite common among the elderly migrant workers.
building site clear "old man"
1995 from Chongqing Kaixian regiment Feng Village to Shenzhen to work in Shenzhen, this year has been 52 years old, with the increase in the city's high buildings, he also entered the age of age.
he clearly remembered that he contracted the construction project in Shenzhen. Before 2000, most of the migrant workers were young people of twenty or thirty years old. Gradually, the young people became less and less; the migrant workers who had followed their own years had gradually stepped into the senior years, even over the age of 60 years old (over the age of age).
Li Jia Hai said that his contract team maintained 60 migrant workers throughout the year, up to 300 people. At present, more than 90% migrant workers over 50 years old.
more contractors said: building life is hard, young people do not want to do; elderly migrant workers can endure hardships, but slow motion and slow response.
"who doesn't want to be young, solid and practical?" Li Jiahai said, but he did not choose, because since 2013, his construction site has not found the young migrant workers under 30 years of age, all of the "old man".
the report on the nationwide survey on migrant workers in 2013 shows that the proportion of the new generation of migrant workers engaged in the construction industry (after 1980) has fallen sharply, less than half of the old generation of migrant workers (born before 1980).
Li Jia Hai said that the biggest trouble for contractors is the health problems of the elderly migrant workers. To this end, they have taken measures, for example, when signing contracts with the builders, the medical fee under 5 thousand yuan is agreed by the contractor, which exceeds this amount and is paid by the construction company.
"contractors in the construction industry do not buy personal insurance for migrant workers, and buy a collective insurance at most." Li Jiahai said.
the elderly migrant workers by eating meat to supplement the physical strength of
Li Jia Hai revealed that the old migrant workers, labor ability and day fall, only by eating meat to supplement physical strength, "I am the same, as long as a day does not eat meat, the heart is flare."
for Li Jia Hai's argument, 98 of the 103 elderly migrant workers who interviewed surging news were identified, 11 of them were all recognized. In addition, more than half of the older migrant workers will provide "food" as an important reference index for selecting workers.
older migrant workers say that with the development of our economy and the rising living standards of people, "eating meat" is not a difficult thing. "But we have to eat more meat and supplement our strength."
