Auntie Chen is one of many independent cleaners in the Beijing area, and she mainly makes ends meet by taking household cleaning orders.

Aunt Chen said that although her monthly income is only four to five thousand yuan,
But she was reluctant to spend thousands of dollars on work-related injury insurance because she thought it would be a big burden on her finances.

According to data from the Gig Economy Research Center, 70% of cleaning workers have been injured at work.
Such as falling from height, burns, etc.

The reason why the client in the incident refused Aunt Chen's home work was that he was worried about the financial compensation that might arise from the work-related injury.

As soon as the topic was posted on the Internet, the comment area instantly exploded! Tens of thousands of comments poured in
Some of these netizens' comments are even more interesting and interesting, let's take a look
Customers are also normal to think that it is indeed dangerous to wipe high-rise glass
Door-to-door visits for hundreds, one or two thousand. Companies that don't even pay insurance, and conversely talk about the customer's problem
To be honest, what the customer said is right, the company should pay it, and it is really unclear what happened
I remember a previous case where my aunt came to the door, was injured or injured, had no insurance, and finally asked the employer for compensation
Workers' compensation insurance seems to be very cheap
Well, it's okay to get hurt and the customer, right?
The personal opinion of the lamb
This is not only Auntie Chen's personal experience, but also reflects the obvious shortcomings in our society in taking care of gig economy workers.
We must acknowledge that the gig economy has brought flexible work opportunities to many people, especially for middle-aged and older people who may not be suitable for traditional full-time work. However, this flexibility should not come at the expense of basic labor protections. Auntie Chen's case reveals a serious problem: many gig workers are unable to afford the necessary work-related injury insurance due to cost considerations, leaving them extremely vulnerable in the event of a work-related injury.
On the positive side, this event should also serve as an opportunity for us to reflect on and promote social change.
Governments and societies should recognise the urgency of protecting gig economy workers and provide them with more comprehensive social protection. For example, consideration could be given to introducing lower-cost work-related injury insurance schemes, or passing legislation to ensure that employers provide the necessary insurance for gig workers engaged in potentially hazardous work.
Public awareness also needs to be raised. The public should pay more attention to and support the improvement of the working conditions of gig workers, and promote the formation of a more just and sustainable labor market environment. Each of us has the potential to be a part of the gig economy, so elevating job security for gig workers is actually an investment in ourselves and our society.
For individuals like Auntie Chen, I hope that her story will inspire more people to pay attention to and participate in actions to improve the situation of the gig economy. Society should show more respect and support for these hard-working workers and ensure that they do not lose the protection they deserve because of the nature of their work.
Auntie Chen's experience is heart-wrenching, but it also gives us an opportunity to think about how to build a more inclusive and supportive society. Let's work together to ensure that every worker, whether full-time or gig, can work in safety and dignity.
