Preventing "Overwork Death" To Curb Overtime Culture

The enormous pressure of work has led to the number of over 600 thousand deaths per year in China, which has surpassed Japan as the first major country of overwork death.

This report has attracted a lot of media comments.

Some commentaries say that karoshi still suffers from legal injury. It is urgent to promote labor protection legislation and put overwork death into the category of industrial injury as soon as possible.

Another comment says that all the value of the existence of trade unions is to protect workers' rights and interests. In the face of overworked death, whether the trade union should play its role and what role it should play is only to meet the welfare of hundreds of dollars for laborers. This is undoubtedly a self weakening and self dwarfing of functions.

The number is 600 thousand. It's really sensational. I didn't know that there was a statistical institution specializing in the investigation of karoshi in China. Because of heavy work or death, it is difficult to distinguish between the main causes.

Sure enough, the mainstream media reported that after 600 thousand years of overworked death in China, some people identified it as an old rumor.

The reason for the old rumours is that 600 thousand people are sudden deaths, rather than overworked deaths, and the media are in the process of communication. Two, there is no saying that "China surpasses Japan as the leading power of overfatigue".

In 2012, a domestic mainstream media article mentioned that "the number of overworked deaths per year in China is 600 thousand".

It has been 10 years since the death of 600 thousand people died of overwork in 2006, and there are 6 million deaths from overwork. It is unbelievable.

But work is stressful and stressful.

The emergence and pace of the race really arouse people's attention to the physical and mental health of the working group.

The first killer of karoshi

The culture of overtime is prevailing.

The media called for the death penalty for overwork to be included in the work-related injury. However, China's "industrial injury insurance Ordinance" stipulates that the death of workers in work hours, working hours and workplaces after 48 hours is regarded as work-related injury.

Most of the overworked deaths are beyond the scope of work-related injuries, and the law can not be expanded indefinitely.

In fact, the law can stipulate that it can prove that the overworked death caused by the main cause of work can get some relief and enable enterprises to shoulder the responsibility of relief.

The question is, if enterprises do not specify employees to work overtime, how should employees work overtime to reflect their performance? Especially white collar workers' overworked death is on the rise. Self overtime has become the norm.

Therefore, the key is to let employers cut down the popular overtime culture.

Of course, the trade union should take the safeguarding of the legitimate rights and interests of employees as its basic duties, but it is not realistic to ask the trade unions to prohibit overtime work which does not violate the law, let alone prohibit workers from working overtime voluntarily.

Moreover, the functions of the trade union are varied. They should educate employees and educate enterprises, curb the prevalence of the culture of overtime work, and ensure that workers have adequate rest time and plenty of spare time life, and develop good habits.

It is not easy to curb the overtime culture of enterprises.

According to a survey, workers in private enterprises are more dedicated than workers in state-owned enterprises. One of the data is that workers in private enterprises work longer hours.

In the view of enterprises, no matter what mindset, putting time into work is a good employee.

Cutting down the overtime culture of enterprises must go through the collision of ideas.
