About the death of a female worker of our company caused by sickness and related compensations
[Title and summary translation of Chinese article provided by Business & Human Rights Resource Centre] A member of production staff of our company died due to severe high blood pressure and multiple organ failure. Since her family believed that it a was work-related death, they sought for a compensation of RMB 600,000. Villagers from the deceased’s village gathered and protested against the company. The company requested the police and other government officials to get involved in mediation. As the situation got worse, the police moved the of the deceased to the funeral home [from the site] and removed the mourning hall, so that a new negotiating environment could be developed. With the government departments’ assistance in mediation, it has been confirmed that the death was not due to an occupational disease, and could not be identified as work-related injuries. Considering the family’s actual situation and for humanitarian reasons, the company agreed to give a one-off compensation of RMB 280,000 to the family, according to the SOE Occupational Death Compensation Standards.
