On the third day, in the blowing workshop of Xijiang Glass Factory in Yunnan County, Yunfu City, Guangdong Province, Chen Wei, a glassblower, was facing the hot melting furnace at 1500 ° C, and the metal rod dipped in glass sand in his hand rotated evenly in the furnace, and the fire reflected the outline of his side face more clearly. The glass droplets fall to the ground, cooling and building a transparent glass fortress, while the freshly baked glass liquid is like a red dragon coiled on the glass fortress.

Chen Wei withdrew the metal stick, blew air while turning, put it into a cold water pot to remove the surface heat, and the glass surface formed a milky white, at which time it was put into the mold to blow the shape. The assistant worker took the molded glass lampshade and sent it to the annealing kiln, and Chen Wei completed a glass lampshade.

Medium-sized glass lampshade, Chen Wei can blow out 300 a day.

Working next to the hot melting furnace, the body temperature reaches more than 40 °C, and Chen Wei, who has been engaged in blowing work for 28 years, has long adapted to the high temperature working environment. "Summer is hot and winter is warm, and when you approach the furnace in summer, it's like a heat wave; late autumn starts to be more comfortable, and it's warmer in winter." Chen Wei frankly said that summer work is the most torturous, and when the heat is unbearable, he stops to blow the wind on the side to dissipate heat.

During the break between work, Chen Wei picked up the large kettle with one hand and drank it to his mouth, and he had to drink 5,000 ml of water one day.

The reporter saw that two circles of cooling equipment were set up above the hot melting furnace, one circle of water-cooled air conditioning and one circle of fans. The entire workshop is located under the tin greenhouse, and from time to time there are water sprays on the greenhouse to cool down. "In the summer, it rains lightly outside, and the workshop is still very hot, and only heavy rain is more comfortable." Chen Wei said.

In the face of high temperature weather and the production tasks of enterprises, the trade union of Xijiang Glass Factory has taken a series of measures to provide guarantees for employees to fight high temperatures and seize high yields in high temperature environments. Guo Zhiquan, chairman of the factory's trade union, told reporters that the company issued a high temperature allowance to employees in accordance with the law from June to October, and boiled herbal tea and sugar porridge once a week. The trade union also purchased the necessary heat-proof and cooling emergency drugs to ensure the health of the majority of employees. According to reports, Xijiang Glass Factory will invest in new energy furnaces, and use electric furnaces to replace the furnaces that burn heavy oil, at which time, the working environment of employees will be further improved.

Can employees of special types of work in non-public enterprises retire early?

The Ministry of Electronics Industry's "Notice on the Trial Early Retirement of Five Special Types of Work Such as Thermoformers before the Furnace" ([86] Dianshengzi No. 0332) pointed out that according to the Document No. 3 of the Ministry of Labor and Personnel of the People's Republic of China[ 1983], the Ministry of Labor and Personnel has determined that the five types of work such as thermoformers in front of the furnace will be given early retirement on a trial basis.

Article 1 (2) of the State Council's Interim Measures on the Retirement and Retirement of Workers (Guo Fa [1978] No. 104) stipulates that those who engage in underground, high-altitude, high-altitude, high-temperature, particularly heavy physical labor or other work harmful to physical health, males who are at least 55 years old, females who have reached the age of 45, and who have worked continuously for ten years, shall retire.

In the interview, Guo Zhiquan told reporters that the description of the working conditions of the thermoformers and annealers in front of the furnace was completely consistent with the glass blowing workers and auxiliary workers of the Xijiang Glass Factory. Therefore, glassblowers are special types of work and can enjoy early retirement benefits according to Guo Fa [1978] No. 104. However, since the factory was restructured from a state-owned enterprise to a joint-stock enterprise in 1998 and has lost its status as a state-owned enterprise, there is "no legal basis" for the early retirement of these special types of workers.

The reporter consulted the Pension Insurance Section of the Yunfu Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau on this issue, and the reply was that Yunfu City is still implementing Guo Fa [1978] No. 104, and its scope of application includes state-owned enterprises, collective enterprises and enterprises owned by the whole people, foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises are not within the scope, and the transformed Xijiang Glass Factory is a private enterprise and is not within the scope of policy application. No notice of combined length of service has been received at this time.

Xijiang Glass Factory has 10 years of service and 20 years of employees, "before it was a state-owned enterprise, many workers can apply for early retirement, now it is not possible, many workers can not understand." This has a great impact on the company's long-term stable development and stable workforce. Guo Zhiquan said.
