Brothers need someone to protect them in the wind and rain
At the two sessions of the province last year, "strengthening the protection of workers' rights and interests in flexible employment and new employment forms" was one of the topics of the People's Livelihood Consultation Forum and became a member of the CPPCC topics they care about. The committee members suggested that employees should be included in the labor union to protect their rights and interests, and that employees should be allowed to pay five social insurances and one housing fund in their own name.
In the 2023 work report of the Zhejiang Provincial Higher People's Court, judicial measures to explore the protection of the rights and interests of workers in new employment forms such as "online drivers" and "delivery boys" were mentioned again.

His hometown is in Henan, and he is a post-90s generation. In 2018, he chose to switch from auto parts to the express delivery industry and applied for SF Express. He worked at the Hangzhou Kangqiao outlet for 5 years.
After getting married and having children, Yi Yong deeply felt that life is just firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and cannot be separated from the house, car, money, and children. Yi Yong works hard and earns more than 10,000 yuan a month, but the housing problem has troubled him for several years.
In order to save money, Yi Yong's family of three rented in Chongxian. "The rent there is cheap. The rent is about 1,000 yuan per month, and the family of three is squeezed into a single room."
Yi Yong said that the squeeze can be overcome, but moving is too difficult. pain. "At that time, it was normal to move two or three times a year. Some were because the environment was not good, and some were too far away. In short, it was too difficult to find a stable and suitable house."
"It's so fast, less than 2 months later. , I have lived in my brother’s apartment for more than a year.” In March 2023, Yi Yong welcomed the joy of moving and successfully moved into Wujiadun Apartment in Kangqiao.
Wujiadun Newcomer Apartment in Hangzhou is a special place. It is the concentrated residence with the largest number of couriers in Zhejiang Province. There are more than 600 couriers staying here and more than 180 family members. In 2021, Kangqiao Street, Gongshu District, Hangzhou and SF Group will complete the second phase of Wujiadun Newcomer Apartments.
From then on, Yi Yong lived the life of his dreams. The home is only a three- to five-minute walk from the branch. The family of three has two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. Including property fees, the monthly rent is 1,240 yuan. They are living a happy life. What makes him and his wife even more gratified is that as long as they are still here, If you work with SF Express, you will never have to move again.
"Although we are very busy every day, the government and the company have always cared about us. With the warmth of home here, we are more motivated to work."
Time flies by. In half a year, Yi Yong's child will be in primary school. A few days ago, he heard from his wife that the child's elementary school had not been decided yet and might be assigned to a school in Gongshu District.
"It would be great if I could go to the nearest elementary school." Yi Yong told reporters that for young people, their children's education is a common concern. "Being closer makes it easier to pick up and drop off, and the children can sleep a few more minutes, which is helpful for their healthy growth." Yi Yong said with a smile.
