Given that the three young employees got sick either at work or in their company building and passed away quickly in the hospital, the cause of their deaths can be clearly attributed to “work injury”, according to Chinese law. In China, death from work injury is defined as dying within 48 hours after getting sick at work.
However, many employees died after many days of long hours at work and their deaths may not suit the definition. Some of them died in more than two days after being rushed to the hospital from work and thus their family would not get any compensation from their employers. Some labor right advocates are calling for the amendament of the law to properly protect the right of employees.
