"What happened this time? So many new laws have been made?" In the newly completed textile building in Mingfu Port, two officials who were dealing with it were whispering.

The Textile Building was jointly invested and constructed by two domestic textile giants, Dayuhe Machine Textile Factory and Ping An Weaving Factory. The two companies each have half of the shares. The building has a total of six floors and covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters. It is a landmark building in Mingfu County and the business card of this city defined as the textile industry.

Because textile enterprises have made large investments and will obviously become East Coast Textile Center in the future, at least the cotton textile center, the General Administration of Textile Industry has also set up a dispatching agency here and dispatched a working group led by two department-level cadres to serve the textile enterprises here.

Today, the General Administration sent someone to send a newly issued "Regulations on Labor Safety of Textile Industry" to let all members of the working group learn and understand it, and then go to various textile factories (Mingfugang has some privately invested small textile factories). There are many contents of the "Regulations" and there are dozens of articles, but there is only one core idea, that is, comprehensively improve the working environment of workers in textile enterprises and reduce work injuries and occupational diseases caused by accidents.

For example, the "Regulations" mention the working hours of workers in textile enterprises, pointing out that some privately invested small textile factories use non-national labor workers, working hours for more than 90 hours a week, and there are no basic first aid facilities in the factory, so they cannot provide assistance as soon as possible when workers have an accident; the humidity in the factory does not meet the standards, and long-term work is likely to endanger health; the management of chemicals for bleaching, printing and dyeing is not standardized, and accidents are prone to occur, resulting in casualties and property losses.

The request made by the above surprised the working group, but when it was thought about it carefully, it was being cleaned up. It is a fact that the working environment of textile enterprises is not good. Especially after a large number of non-national labor workers were introduced to serve as industrial workers, it is worth noting that non-national labor workers began to gradually move from low-end construction, logging, farming, and sanitation to relatively high-end labor-intensive industries. A large number of privately invested small factories have been relaxed in management in order to save costs, which has caused many problems.

Compared with these factories, large state-owned factories are better. After all, they were factories established by time travelers at the time, and the system was built by them. Although time travelers considered the actual situation of this era, the lower limit of being a human being is still relatively high, so the system is more humane in all aspects. But even so, after decades, the initial system still became unrecognizable, which was better than those small factories, but there were still many violations.

Actually, this time it is not just the General Administration of Textile Industry. Other related industries have issued similar documents to regulate industrial production activities in this industry. For example, in addition to issuing documents, the Ministry of Coal also sent several inspection teams to inspect coal mines of all sizes and large across the country, including but not limited to the working hours of workers, whether cleaning and ventilation equipment is complete, whether there are escape plans, prevention and control of occupational diseases, etc. In addition, industries such as metal smelting, chemical manufacturing, printing and dyeing and coatings that are more polluted and harmful to the body have also been given priority attention. The working team sent by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce not only checks work standards, but also checks pollution. In short, the momentum is quite large, and the effect is still unknown.

Of course, the task force can only be managed for a while, and what can be managed for a long time is legislation. At present, the relevant laws are already being compiled. I believe that they can be issued next year and solicit opinions from delegates at the political consultation meetings of the Founding Party and some major cities. However, according to well-informed people, many of the provisions in the newly established law are formulated very resilient, which is also a special requirement by the superiors considering the actual situation of the East Coast industry today.

Taking the working hours as an example, many small businesses and even handicraft workshops cannot be effectively managed, and the workers inside are willing to work longer to get more rewards. Just like some small workshops that produce iron nails for shipyards, the master and a group of apprentices can easily work more than 80 hours a week, and they do not think this is a torture. Even if the law clearly stipulates labor time, rest during meals, holidays and early closing, it is difficult to supervise in actual implementation. People can continue to work after closing, or move to remote places to continue working to catch orders, which is difficult to supervise or the cost of supervision is too high. Therefore, when formulating the law, specific terms will be made more flexible, and special exemption applications will be given to enterprises in special circumstances.

There is no doubt that this special exemption clause will greatly reduce the enforcement of the law. But there is no way. This is the world today and the social atmosphere is like this. If you don’t let people work overtime, you will scold you. You can only do this. But there is one thing, that is, children under the age of 14 are strictly prohibited from entering school.

"The Pampa Plain has just entered the stage of large-scale development. The planning of various functional cities has just been in place. Is it necessary to put a tight curse?" Some older cadres held their glasses on their noses and said, "But some things are time to be tampered. It's not okay if they are not tampered. In my hometown, Ping'an County, the water is very polluted. It is all about those small factories that are secretly discharged. The air is filled with a stimulating smell. It is said that many people have lung diseases. Not to mention the Ping'an Mining Bureau, there are piles of coal miners with lung diseases.

, This is still a big enterprise, and there are some labor protection measures. If it is a small coal mine run by privately, let alone labor protection, no one knows if a person dies in the mine. Compensation for work-related injuries is just empty words, and it is amazing to get you hundreds of dollars if you are killed. If you are a non-national labor worker from Europe, you will get out of work-related injuries, and you will be unable to pay a penny if you die. Or even if you pay, you will probably be intercepted by the foreman or labor brokerage company. Only God knows how many eldest sons the family can get. This is the world, and the environment is like this."

This made everyone feel a little silent. If the two major political factions of the Founder Parliament, the "Revival Club" representing moderate civil servants (under the banner of reviving the Song Dynasty, the purpose is to develop the economy and control trade, and the members are mostly spokespersons of big entrepreneurs) and the "State Power Alliance" representing radical and conservative forces (the purpose is to develop industry and commerce, and at the same time use force to control various external nodes, attach more importance to ideological education and peasants' interests, and most of the members are **** elements). Although they have different opinions on many things, they do not attach much importance to the current situation of the working class. To put it bluntly, they do not care about the interests of the people. They only care whether they can achieve their goals and protect the interests of their small groups.

This time, the "East Coast People's Party" group led by Meng Xiaohu and others was the "East Coast People's Party" group. These people have always attached great importance to workers' rights and interests, advocated popularization of education, improved medical conditions, and reduced discrimination against non-national labor workers. They often criticized the government's many racial abuse and even extermination policies (such as discrimination and relocation of people of indigenous ancestry). There are some supporters in the parliament, but not many.

To be honest, the word "party" is not a good word in Chinese tradition. There are the Niu Li party struggles in the Tang Dynasty, and the recent ones are the Donglin party and the eunuch party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty. Both of them led to the empire falling into an irreversible channel of destruction. Therefore, the word "party" is really a label that many people do not want to be involved in traditional society. However, the East Coast People's Party has no such concern. They promote their political ideas in high profile and do not hide the fact that they form party members. Moreover, because they are very friendly to the working people, the articles written in governmental publications are also meaningful, so they have received support from many people outside the parliament, although it has also attracted a lot of controversy.

Previously, they acquired the publication "Minsheng" (which has gone bankrupt), which the Army used to fight against others, and published more than a dozen articles in succession, criticizing all walks of life in China for neglecting the standard of production safety labor and desperately squeezing the blood and sweat of workers. This resonated with many people. The trend of social public opinion formed a lot of pressure on the founding clerks, and eventually forced them to make changes. They began to convene legal experts to formulate new laws. At the same time, the State Council ordered various ministries and commissions to send working groups to patrol in various places to standardize the safety standards of labor production in enterprises and protect the interests of workers.

There are only more than ten people in the textile building, and three or four of them sympathize with the East Coast People's Party. Although they may not agree with the party's all claims, such as the matter about the Indians. The middle-aged cadre who just spoke often bought "Ministry Livelihood" magazine to read. Over time, he has become a loyal supporter of the East Coast People's Party. He admires Meng Xiaohu, who is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Geology, so he is not very polite when speaking.

In his opinion, the development of the new land in the Pampa Plain is a good opportunity to break the old and establish the new and establish all rules. From the beginning, the operators and local governments of all enterprises must understand what can be done and what cannot be overcome, and form a good atmosphere. If you do not do these things at the beginning and wait for the situation to change later, it will not only have bad impact, but the cost will also be very high, which is very unworthy. Therefore, he was very happy with the document regulating production issued by the General Administration of Textile Industry. The textile industry city of Mingfugang will probably not have tens of thousands of direct or indirect practitioners in the future. If they can create a relatively good working environment for them, what a good fortune it would be! At the same time, this also helps to shape the image of the beacon of human civilization in the East Coast Republic and creates a greater attraction to talents around the world (if the publicity is in place). In the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
