qinghai provincial federation of trade unions plays the role of "one letter and two books" to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of couriers

the loophole of lack of work-related injury insurance for employees of more than 60 express delivery companies has been "plugged"

recently, in response to the situation that more than 60 express delivery companies in the province have stopped paying or failed to pay for employee work-related injury insurance, the qinghai provincial federation of trade unions has used "one letter and two books" to urge express delivery companies to standardize employment and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of employees in the express delivery industry. so far, 53 companies in the province that stopped paying or missed paying for employee work-related injury insurance have paid normally, and 13 companies that did not participate in work-related injury insurance have all registered for insurance by the end of august.

according to relevant regulations, express delivery companies and grassroots express delivery outlets with employment qualifications should sign labor contracts with couriers and participate in various social insurances in accordance with the law. grassroots express delivery outlets with flexible employment and high mobility can give priority to participating in work-related injury insurance.

since the beginning of this year, the qinghai provincial federation of trade unions has vigorously promoted the "one letter and two books" system, and incorporated it into the cooperation and linkage mechanism between trade unions and human resources and social security, courts, procuratorates and other units. in response to the current issues of wage arrears and insurance arrears that are of common concern to employees, the qinghai federation of trade unions supervises and inspects the implementation of labor laws and regulations by employers.

in late june, the qinghai provincial federation of trade unions collaborated with multiple departments including the qinghai provincial people's procuratorate, the provincial social security bureau, and the provincial postal administration to compare data on the purchase of work-related injury insurance by express delivery companies across the province. after investigating and verifying with some couriers, they found that more than 60 express delivery companies in xining city, haixi mongolian and tibetan autonomous prefecture, yushu tibetan autonomous prefecture, golog tibetan autonomous prefecture and other places had stopped paying or had not paid work-related injury insurance for their employees, posing greater risks and hidden dangers to couriers.

to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of couriers, on the basis of establishing a "one letter and two books" collaborative mechanism with the people's procuratorate of qinghai province to protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers, the qinghai provincial federation of trade unions and the public interest litigation department of the provincial procuratorate conducted in-depth investigations and visits to express delivery companies, held consultation meetings, and grasped the working conditions of couriers across the province and the actual situation of the lack of work-related injury insurance.

after identifying the crux of the problem, the qinghai provincial federation of trade unions cooperated with the qinghai provincial people's procuratorate to file a case in a timely manner. based on solid evidence, they jointly issued a procuratorial recommendation to the qinghai provincial department of human resources and social security, suggesting that it verify the purchase of work-related injury insurance by grassroots express delivery outlets in the province that have obtained express business licenses from the postal administration department and have the legal status of employers, and urge express delivery companies that have not paid work-related injury insurance to purchase work-related injury insurance in accordance with the law to protect the legitimate rights and interests of couriers and other new employment workers.

after receiving the prosecutor's suggestion, the qinghai provincial department of human resources and social security, together with the qinghai provincial postal administration, issued verification notices to the social security agency and the postal administration respectively, and carried out an investigation into the problem of grassroots express delivery outlets not participating in work-related injury insurance across the province. a consultation mechanism was established for grassroots express delivery outlets to give priority to participating in work-related injury insurance, and through communication and coordination with enterprises, publicity of laws and regulations and other measures, enterprises were urged to implement rectification.

it is reported that this time, the qinghai provincial federation of trade unions used "one letter and two books" to handle the province's first public interest litigation case on work-related injury insurance for workers in new employment forms, solving the problem of more than 60 express delivery companies stopping or not paying work-related injury insurance for their employees, plugging the loophole of new employment workers lacking work-related injury insurance, and effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of couriers.
