Swipe the screen! A BYD employee died suddenly, and he worked night shifts for 7 consecutive days before his death! Internet manufacturers canceled "996", manufacturing overtime is more serious?

Just when the stock price of new energy vehicles rose sharply and sales continued to exceed expectations, a news of the sudden death of BYD employees quickly appeared on the hot search!

On November 5, a 36-year-old employee of BYD's Eleventh Business Unit died suddenly in a rental house, and the clock-in records of his work in Xi'an showed that he worked about 12 hours for 26 days in October.

The notice of investigation issued by the police shows that criminal cases have been excluded. However, because no autopsy was done, the specific cause of death is not yet clear, and his family believes that it may be related to continuous overtime and high-intensity work before his death.

According to the surging news, BYD agreed to pay a one-time payment of 200,000 yuan to the employee's family. On the morning of the 18th, the labor inspection department of Xi'an High-tech Zone has intervened in this matter to investigate.

It is worth noting that at the beginning of this year, the news of the sudden death of a 22-year-old Pinduoduo employee once caused a hot discussion, and then a number of Internet factories cancelled the 996 work system and banned employees from working overtime. This time, the sudden death of BYD employees has once again pushed the "overtime culture" to the cusp of the storm.

Compared with the glossy Internet factories, the overtime situation in the manufacturing industry is actually more serious, but it is rarely mentioned, especially the common two-shift model.

The Internet successfully fought against "996", and the overtime in the manufacturing industry was more serious?

At the beginning of this year, the news of the sudden death of a 22-year-old Pinduoduo employee once caused a hot discussion. Behind the frequent occurrence of sudden death incidents is the spread of 996 culture and the anxiety of fierce competition in the Internet industry. Subsequently, a number of Internet manufacturers have cancelled the 996 working system and banned employees from working overtime.

In June this year, Kuaishou announced that it would cancel the size week from July 1, and employees would work overtime on demand; on July 9, ByteDance released a full email announcing that it would cancel the size week from August 1; on July 14, Meituan community group buying business Meituan Preferred also canceled the size week.

On August 26, the Supreme People's Court and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security made it clear that the 996 work system was seriously illegal.

On November 1, a byte employee broke the news that ByteDance began to use the "1075" working system, going to work at 10 o'clock every day and leaving at 7 o'clock, working 5 days a week; within a few days, the topic of "Tencent or the implementation of the 965 system" was even more hotly searched. On November 9, Tencent officially announced the latest employee care plan, after 15 years of work, you can enjoy early retirement treatment, which makes countless hard-working workers envious.

According to the information statistics of 58 cities, the recruited manufacturing enterprises generally adopt a two-shift, six-off-one work system. According to statistics, in the case of the total number of hours worked per month reaching 1.7 times the legal working hours, these manufacturing blue-collar workers can get a monthly income of close to 5,000 yuan.

In addition to harsh working hours, the manufacturing industry also faces harsher working conditions than office white-collar workers. According to pointer data, the most typical is the night shift brought by the two-shift mode, 66% of the posts are clearly prompted to have a night shift, in addition to may also encounter the requirements of standing shift, wearing dust-free clothes and so on.

 

From the expression of Wang Jianglong's cousin, Wang Jianglong's logistics position has a relatively large work intensity, "a day shift last month, and then a month night shift.".

Since the beginning of this year, BYD's automobile sales have grown rapidly, from January to October this year, its automobile sales were 542,700 units, an increase of 71.35% year-on-year, of which the sales of new energy vehicles were 418,600 units, an increase of 212.03% year-on-year.

Article 36 of the Labor Law stipulates that the State implements a system in which workers work no more than 8 hours per day and work an average weekly work. Article 38 stipulates that the employer must ensure that the employee rests at least once a week for 1 day.

Obviously, the manufacturing industry cannot accelerate the rapid development of enterprises with a crazy overtime culture. This time, the sudden death of BYD employees also hopes to attract the attention of all manufacturing companies.
